Why did my dog vomit undigested food hours after eating? Is it bad?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 months and 28 days old | 13 lbs

My dog just threw up undigested food from last night which was some baby carrots. She just had a bowel movement and that was okay. Would there be any reason for her vomiting this many hours after eating that?

If it was just one time, I wouldn't be too concerned about the vomit. If something isn't sitting well in their stomach you may notice some undigested food. If Roxy continues to vomit or becomes lethargic then I recommend taking her to a veterinarian to have her evaluated. I would withhold food for a few hours to let her stomach settle. hank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
