Why is my dog throwing up mornings or nights, but seems healthy?

Question

My pup sometimes throws up in the mornings or in the middle of the night. He seems in good health with no behavioural or dietary changes. Is this normal? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 70 lbs

Vomiting regularly (1 or more times every week) is not normal. Chronic vomiting can have a variety of underlying causes, including allergies to food, parasites, or congenital issues. Very occasional vomiting is more commonly due to stomach upset from eating inappropriate food (table scraps) or foreign material. Since Atlas otherwise seems to be acting and eating normally, consider how often the vomiting occurs. If this is a regular occurrence, consider slowly transitioning him to a new diet with a different protein source and speak with your vet about deworming. It can take 2-3 months to see full effect from the diet change. Take Atlas to his vet if the chronic vomiting continues.
