My dog vomited undigested food hours after eating. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 months and 9 days old | 13 lbs

My dog is a Lhasa also and shihtzu mix, I don’t know if that helps with the situation. My dog just threw up what looks like is her food. It was kind of lumpy. This happened hours after she has eaten. First time she has thrown up like this.

It could be Hazel has an upset stomach. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps.
