Hello, depending on how old your dog is and wether he has a pace maker this can be issue. If your dog otherwise is acting like his normal self, then this may just be normal hiccup episodes. If the problem persists and you think it is affecting his quality of life, I would certainly have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Best of luck.
