Two dogs were examined for hypersialism associated with non‐painful, symmetrical enlargement of both mandibular salivary glands. These signs were accompanied by inappetence and weight loss. The underlying cause of the problem could not be determined despite extensive investigations including fine needle aspiration biopsy of affected salivary glands. Hypersialism and mandibular salivary gland enlargement resolved completely during pheno‐barbitone administration.
