  Hi and thank you for your question on PetCoach! If this is the first time in a while that Bonnie has thrown up, I wouldn't worry too much about this one time incident. It could be she ate too fast or didn't chew her food properly as the kibble and egg (?) appears to be intact still. The white foam is just saliva and mucous from the mouth and stomach lining. It is nothing too concerning. If she continues to regurgitate her food or vomit, I would see a veterinarian soon to ensure there is not something more concerning that is causing the frequent vomiting. Keep a an eye of her for the next day or so. If she is eating too fast, you can invest in dog bowls that are designed to slow down their eating: https://www.amazon.com/Brake-Fast-Food-Slow-Feed-Bowl/dp/B000PE30MQ I hope this has helped!

  Hello. At such a young age, we still have to worry about some of the puppy diseases, including Distemper & Parvo, even if she has had 1 or 2 vaccines. Watch her closely over the next 24 hours & if she seems to be worse in terms of not wanting to eat, being a little lethargic, or increased vomiting, please see your veterinarian. Puppies will eat anything at this age, so it is just possible she has a bit of an upset tummy. You should know better which way this will go in the next day or so. If she feels like eating, I would feed her on schedule, but perhaps feed just a little less than normal until you see where this goes. I hope she is feeling better soon. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
