My dog projectile vomited food and grass. Is it an upset stomach?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

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.
