Most Common Reasons Dogs Vomit

Many causes of vomiting aren’t serious. These are the most commonly reported causes of vomiting that dogs do not have and how to deal with it:

They were being unruly. Dogs can be playful! They rummage through the counters and search through the garbage. This could cause severe irritation to the stomach lining, causing diarrhea and vomiting. In veterinary medicine, we refer to this as the ‘garbage gut.’ If they haven’t eaten anything toxic or harmful, you want to help their diet with a simple one and probiotics.

It’s been a long time since they’ve eaten. This often manifests as vomiting bile just before eating. If your dog is healthy otherwise, give your dog a small snack before dinner or bed. If this doesn’t eliminate the vomiting, then it’s time to consult your vet.

Worms. Depending on where you live, specific intestinal parasites can be found in dogs. Sometimes you can spot parasites in the stools, but it’s not always. You can test for intestinal parasites by giving your doctor a stool sample. I suggest checking two samples every 2-3 weeks.

Food allergies/sensitivities. These can be tricky to identify. Food allergies may manifest as diarrhea, vomiting, frequent hearing infections, and general itching. If you suspect that your pet is allergic to food, changing the protein source of their food is recommended. For instance, if you feed chicken, change to a beef. diet.

Eating grass. When eaten in sufficient quantities, a lot of grass could cause vomiting. But, there are times when dogs eat grass to relieve their stomachs that are upset. It isn’t easy to tell if they love the smell of freshly cut lawns or are suffering from abdominal pain. Learn more about grass-based eating here.
