My dog ate curry and is vomiting. What home remedies can I give him?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 25 days old

I fed Mayor a food which I don't know that should not be fed to a dog specifically chicken curry (just the chicken). Mayor vomits and he is now just lying down. He will walk to vomit a watery substance and lie down again. What should I do? Are there any remedy from the kitchen I can give him? Is it true that a water moxed with some sugar can somehow help? Please help. Thanks.

Yes, you are correct that dogs should not be given curry. It contains spices that are very upsetting to their stomach. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps him, but no water mixed with sugar will not help at all. In fact, too much sugar can cause further GI upset. In the future, do not feed him curry again, and only feed him his dog food. As for the home remedy, withhold food for 8-12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Oh no, that was naughty of Bart to eat that spicy chicken! It sounds like it upset his stomach, and that would also cause him to be a little lethargic.

Poor San! He could have vomited due to a GI illness, eating something rotten, a sudden change in diet, being given food he's never had before, intestinal worms, a foreign body, or pancreatitis.

I think my dogs got food poisoning from getting into the bin bag and eating a curry should I wait it out or is she in danger?
Depending on the amount ingested, you may see vomiting and/or diarrhea within the next 12 hours. Usually, either can be managed with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain in addition to persistent GI upset. See your veterinarian if symptoms worsen, do not resolve or if any of these other symptoms are observed.

Hi my dog had his bits off about 3 days ago his been eating and drinking and get had a bone from the farm shop not he been sick and the second time it was all like fuffy abit that's there wasn't much but I'm worried
It could be that the bone has upset Bullseye's stomach leading him to vomit. I never recommend giving bones to dogs because of the risk of broken teeth and intestinal obstruction. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps him. Withhold food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, you see blood in his feces, he stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Hi someone gave my dog raw meat he threw up four times ate some grass and drank water atm he's not vomiting but sitting quietly
Poor Dobby! It sounds like the raw meat has upset his stomach, and I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. In the future, I would refrain from allowing anyone to give him raw meat. Good luck, I hope this helps!
