My 6-month Great Dane puppy throws up whole food. Eating too fast?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 13 days old | 60 lbs

My 6m old Great Dane is vomiting up every meal for the last few days. No change in diet. She seems otherwise happy, is behaving normally and has plenty of energy. What she brings up looks exactly like what was in her bowl. Is she eating too fast or could there be another cause?

Maya could be eating too fast, you may want to try a slow feeder to see if that helps. If it's not improving I would have Maya evaluated by your veterinarian to make sure she doesn't have any congenital or developmental issues that would be causing the vomiting. You can also try to distinguish if she's vomiting versus regurgitating. Vomiting required abdominal effort (like retching or dry heaving), while regurgitation does not.
