My dog keeps throwing up. What causes it and how can I prevent it?

Pet's info: Dog | West Highland White Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years old | 13 lbs

My dog Archi often pukes for unknown reasons. He eats the same food and treats that he has been eating and likeing for the past 2 years or so and doesn't eat much human food. What could be the reason and how to prevent it?

It could be that Archi eats his food too quickly, leading to him vomiting. You can try feeding him out of a slow feeder bowl, which you can find online or at a pet store. I'd also recommend a check up with his vet to make sure everything is ok health wise. Best of luck.
