My dog is throwing up multiple times and won't eat. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 1 year and 8 months old | 95 lbs

I'm dogsitting my parent's 1.5yr yellow lab. we have had him since Monday(5/22). Monday morning(5/29) he puked his entire breakfast bust still seemed chipper and full of energy. He drank plenty of water and we went on a walk in the woods. We gave him water and his kibble As treats and he took them easily-3/4 cups worth. We fed him his dinner in small increments and he was totally fine. Tuesday morning also fine. My husband took him out of the crate and he puked five times and won't eat dinner.

It's possible Willie may have gotten into something causing his digestive upset, or may have an object stuck causing him to vomit. A bland diet of boiled rice and chicken can sometimes help, however, since he has been vomiting over multiple days/multiple times and now is refusing to eat, it would be best to seek veterinary care to rule out any more serious issues.
