My dog vomits after eating, eats grass, acts normal. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My boxer the last 2 days has puked within 10 minutes of eating. He is drinking plenty of water. However, now and never before, just wants to eat grass whenever he is out. He is still acting normal. Playing, no pain, kids are all over him. Help me please. Carpet scrubber is getting tired

Poor pup! It's not normal that he's vomiting after he's eating, and he's showing you he is sick even if he's otherwise acting normal. Because he has been experiencing vomiting for more than 24 hours, it's now time to take him into the vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing the vomiting, and can treat him for it. Withhold food tonight, and feed him a bland diet tomorrow of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts tomorrow until he sees the vet. Best of luck.
