Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | spayed | 1 year old | 50 lbs
Bruin, a border collir lab mix at 14 months.... just projectile threw up everywhere. It was brown and chunky and looked like it was the dog food she eats. I have been feeding it to her for two and a half months, no problems until now. It is bluewilderness and the kind petsmart recommended so i dont think its the type of food. There was some grass in it, but she always eats a lil grass and has neeever thrown up like this. Should I be worried or perhaps her stomach was just upset ???

Hopefully, it is just dietary indiscretion but I am always concerned for intestinal obstruction in young dogs with projectile vomiting. If the vomiting continues follow up with your veterinarian to discuss abdominal x-rays.

It looks like this could be something your dog vomited up since it is covered with some grass and wet (often this is how vomit can appear). It is tough to tell what this might be without being able to touch it/feel consistency. If it is soft I would be suspicious of stuffing of some sort or it could possibly be dry dog kibble that has swollen due to fluid in the stomach and then been thrown up. I would monitor her closely and if she is lethargic, vomiting continues, she has abdominal pain, then seek veterinary care.
