Why does my dog hiccup and burp so much, especially after eating?

Question

What causes hiccups/burps on dogs? I gave my dog a small snack (the one in the picture) and he started hiccuping for a few seconds. I’ve also noticed that sometimes my dog will burp while eating. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Usually eating/drinking too fast or swallowing some air when eating/drinking. It is not anything I would be concerned about unless the hiccups persist for a long period or time or he starts vomiting. If he is a fast eater/drinker you can do things to make him eat/drink slower like put large, smooth rock into his bowl so he has to eat/drink around it. This will slow him down.
