Why is my dog throwing up food but acting normal? What should I do?

Question

My maltipoo constantly throws up his food. About 3-5 times the past couple days. Other thanthat, he acts normal, is active, and no loss of appetite. Should we change his food? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 17 lbs

Hi, and thanks for your question. I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. If that is the case antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
