My dog keeps vomiting rawhide and won't eat. Is he okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 11 years and 1 month old | 68 lbs

Vomited at 3:30am today producing some treats and portions of a rawhide he had around 7:00pm. Refused breakfast but would take treats. At 9:30am gave buffered aspirin in braunswager for joint pain. Vomited again at 4pm and 7:30pm producing bile and half digested treats. Refused dinner. He is indoors & we have not changed food, treats, or schedule. No other changes we can think of. He is very food motivated and never misses a meal which is concerning. What can we do for him?

Rawhides can get stuck in the stomach and GI tract, and that could be the cause of Duke's vomiting. Given that he has vomited a couple of times today and isn't eating, I would take him into a vet immediately. He should be checked out right away. Best of luck.
