My puppy gets hiccups every day. Is this normal or concerning?

Question

My puppy gets hiccups quite often (at least once a day). Is this something I should be concerned about? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

Puppy hiccups are quite common and typically become less frequent with age. Often this is due to gulping air with excitement or eating/drinking to fast. If the latter is the case you can try feeding on a plate with a cup or rock in the middle to make her eat around it thus slowing her down.
