It's difficult to say what frequency of vomiting would be considered normal, but I too would not be concerned about a dog that vomits occasionally. It may not be due to any significant underlying disease process. He may have a sensitive stomach, or he may be eating non-food items that occasionally cause some stomach upset. If you feel something else is wrong, or if his appetite is decreased or he has diarrhea you may want to recheck with your vet to see if any testing might be recommended.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to a food sensitivity or perhaps because he is getting into something he should not or perhaps something like pancreatitis. You can start by changing his diet to a sensitive stomach type diet. If no improvement is observed, I would recommend you check in with a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!
