My dog vomited his morning food. It looks like it had not been chewed. Is it okay to give him plain yogurt to help settle his tummy or is there anything i can give him? His tummy is making noises.

Hello. Yes, you can give Priat some plain yogurt to see if this helps to settle his stomach. You also want to feed him a bland diet of 25% boiled chicken & 75% white rice or low fat cottage cheese. Feed him only small amounts ( no more than a cup ) every 3-4 hours until you are sure he is no longer vomiting. Hopefully, this is just a case of acute gastritis & most pets are feeling better in 12-24 hours. If not, please see your veterinarian for further diagnostics & treatments. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
