I feed my dog two meals a day, morning and night. Lately, she’s been throwing up between meals. If I let her outside, she starts eating grass and still throws up. What is going on?

Hi GoHawks. I’m sorry to hear your dog is having a bit of trouble. Dogs often eat grass and vomit to alleviate nausea, and there are lots of things that can cause it. Have you started giving them a new food or treat they could be reacting to? Perhaps there is some stress in the home that’s causing them to feel unwell. Whatever the reason, it’s best to contact your veterinarian because it’s out of the ordinary. It’s important so they can examine your dog, as there may be a health condition causing the vomiting or nausea. Your vet can get to the bottom of the issue and offer advice/treatment to stop them from throwing up. Good luck, and we hope your pup starts feeling better soon!

No new food or treats. I think you may be onto something with the stress. It seems to time out with when there’s an unexpected change in our routine. I contacted my vet about it and we discussed. She suggested I switch to feeding 3 meals a day instead of 2 to help keep her tummy settled. So far it’s helped.

UPDATE: We’ve gone 2 weeks without vomiting! I think eating 3 smaller meals a day and trying to maintain as much of a routine as possible has helped her.
