Why does my young dog throw up food right after eating and re-eat it?

Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 17 days old

Hi I have a 11 month old British bulldog most of the time when he eats his food he throws it back up almost straight away and then he will eat it back up, then sometimes throws it back up sometimes it only little bits but he’s his normal happy very playful self so am just wondering what it could be??

Hi there. If this has been ongoing, it may be that Arnie is eating too quickly, or that he has a food allergy. He may also have an issue with his esophagus. I would try putting his kibble in a muffin tin to slow his eating and see if that helps. If it does not, I would have him examined by your vet for a medical cause. Good luck with Arnie! He's adorable! I hope that helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
