My dog does it sometimes too. Sometimes the food migh have upset her stomach or they chugged water to fast. Nothing to be worried about. Their fine! If you can try to take her to a park or something so she can eat a little grass. Dogs do this when they have an upset stomach. You can also try chicken broth and white rice for a day just to ease her belly.
Mine does this occasionally too. Usually it's after he drank too much water too quickly.
@MrsRuby: & @HeatherMM: Okay. Thanks for easing my fears. I will take her somewhere she can be off leash and eat some grass today. :)
our dog has done this before when he has a furball stuck in his throat that he's trying to get out (he has really long fur so he ends up ingesting a lot--ick! it usually comes out the other end but not always...). usually if he has a stomach issue, like from eating something he's not supposed to, his vomit is umm, chunkier. you could try giving him white rice and/or boiled chicken and/or low-sodium chicken broth if he keeps retching--that's our general go-to plan when he vomits or has diarrhea, and if it keeps up past a day we take him to the vet
@finnaroo: Thanks for the great advice. It could definitely be a fur-ball, poor thing. She like to "stay clean" but she does end up ingesting a lot. Thank you for the remedy ideas as well. She would love white rice or chicken broth.
She may be very hungry! Our dog will throw up foamy/ stuff and its because his stomach is empty. Give her a few treats before bed or a small meal!
My dogs sometimes vomits from licking her fur too much, can find some hairs in her trails, that may cause some tummy discomfort.
@Eva Peron: Good thinking, that would definitely make sense because she does it early morning before her meal. I will definitely try a small meal at night for her!
@spaneshal: Yeah. I think that could be a possibility too, thanks for sharin.
One of my dogs does this if he goes to long without eating. I asked the vet about it, he said it's nothing to be alarmed about, just feed the dog more often.
(Strangely enough, this seemed to only be an issue when I fed kibble. Even on "fasting" days with raw he doesn't do it. Maybe it had to do something with the grain in his old food, I really don't know.)
@abbyful: Huh. Probably (about the grain.) That makes sense, I am going to give her a little meal at night. Poor little hungry thing.
My little guy still does this about every other week. We asked the vet and he told us that since he is so active he has burned off all of the food he ate from the night before. So we need to either feed him right before bed or if we happen to wake up in the middle of the night. And of course you can't just give the 1 dog an extra little snack at night- so our other 2 are enjoying an extra snack as well! In all of the times he has had this extra snack at night- there has been no 5 a.m. wake up calls!
Good advice from everyone.
As long as your pup is still eating and drinking normally you should be fine. When her appetite starts to dwindle then you should contact your vet, otherwise it is a normal thing and all dogs do it on occassion.
Update: Dear Dog is okay! She was just hungry like many of you mentioned. I started feeding her at night (she is super duber high active German Shorthair) and she has not had another issue.
Thank you so much for the advice!
@Lolasmomma: Yeah, Dear Dog seems to be fine now that I give her a snack at night. Plus it cheers her up.
Glad to hear you figured out the problem! My pup does the same thing from time to time, and I always wondered if it was because of a furball or he had an empty tummy. Since it seemed to happen early in the morning, we thought empty tummy too. Now he always gets a bedtime snack. :)
@cbee: Glad to know! Can your pup be fed 2 times a day? or do you prefer one big feeding?
@Eva Peron: Now we are feeding her in the morning, and then extra at night :) (She is skinny, so she doesn't really gain weight from all her energy anyway.) She is very happy about it!
@mrs_pugetsound: Yeah! I am glad everyone told me to try night feeding. It makes sense, sometimes I guess I just need some outside perspective. Your pup is SO cute!
@Opus: Agreed. Snack before bed and an earlier breakfast. Doesn't have to be anything major, or a full meal...just a little something. Glad she's feeling better!
I'm so glad someone posted this! My puppy is doing the same thing, she's a mini dachshund. All the sudden you'll hear her get up and then cough and get sick : ( Right before bed though she's SO hyper, and I'm thinking she burns off all her food like you guys have said. I'll feed her right before bed and hopefully she'll be ok! Thanks!!!!
@Lauren10.8.11: If your puppy is young, throwing up at night instead of nearly 24 hours after feeding, it doesn't sound like the same thing. I'd take her in for an exam just to be safe.
Try giving her some pumpkin. It's great for settling stomachs in animals. I get a can of it and give some to the furbaby when he starts gagging/throwing up for no reason. Best part of it is that he loves it, so he doesnt take any coaxing to eat it.
@soyjoy222: I was going to recommend the pumpkin too.
Just make sure you get the pure pumpkin puree and not the pumpkin pie mix with spices. My dog is small so I just give her a TB. She loves it. I also give her boiled chicken and rice when she has an upset stomach.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Dear Dog just started vomiting in the night, more like really early morning. It is just (sorry TMI) yellow, like bile. We feed her in the mornings (9 am-ish) but today I heard her throw up around 6-7.
This is the third time. It doesn't happen every night, and this is only the third time, but it started about a month ago, so I am just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? It is not a lot of throw-up... but still makes me wonder.
Normally, she eats grass as an occasional hobby, but we moved to a place where she is always on leash now. ? Chronic stomach discomfort?
Thank you for any input.
