It can be normal for dogs to vomit occasionally. You should be concerned if your dog continues to vomit and can't stop. You should also watch for other symptoms like diarrhea. If your dog continues to decline, I would suggest a Vet asap. However, if this was a one time thing and your dog seems fine, it could just be that your dog had an upset tummy, or was too active and just vomited. It happens!

    Hello. I think it would be a good idea to see your vet. Vomiting, even occasional, is just not normal. Treatment might involve something as simple as modifying his diet, or meal times, adding a small meal just before bedtime, or trying a stomach protectant. It is probably not an emergency, but do get this checked out at your earliest convenience if it continues. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
