Why is my puppy throwing up undigested kibble? Is he eating too fast?

Question

4 month old bichon Frise vomit x3. Once on Friday, once yesterday and once today. 2/3 times there were traces of undigested kibbles in whole form. Could it be that he is trying to eat too much (1/3 cup 2x per day ... sometimes finishes) or the increased heat?? He has no other SX and appears to be playing and active ... advice? Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Male | neutered | 4 months and 9 days old | 7.8 lbs

Poor Guido! It could be that he's eating his food too quickly, the increased heat is upsetting his stomach, or he is playing too soon after eating. Given that he has no other symptoms and is otherwise acting normal, I'd keep an eye on him for now. Portion out his food during meals to slow down his eating, giving him a little bit at a time. Make sure he is kept indoors where it's cool, and he always has access to cool water. If the vomiting continues and/or he develops other signs such as lethargy, diarrhea, and anorexia, I would take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
