My puppy burps after eating. Is it reflux? What can I do to help?

Question

My puppy tends to burp up her food at least once every time she eats. It's not to the point of spitting up no food actually comes out but I can hear it. It's like reflux. Is there something I can do to help this? At one point she was having digestive issues because of a food allergy but when we couldn't figure it out the vet said it would be okay to give a small dose of Pepcid / Prilosec does it still apply here? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 months and 2 days old | 7.2 lbs

If Snowball is eating quickly she could be swallowing lots of air which can cause burping. There are a number of bowls available that force dogs to eat slower which may be helpful. I would talk to your vet again before starting her on medication just to be on the safe side. Good luck!
