Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 25 lbs
Why does my shih Tzu keep throwing up at nighttime? (Usually from 12am-5am) Does he need a midnight snack before bed? He has problems with free eating because he will accident in the house so will he accident at night with a little snack before bed?

He’s adorable! You are right a snack before bed will reduce the stomach acid from an empty stomach which can cause the vomiting. I don’t expect a small snack to increase the night accidents. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Beau.
