My dog ate bones and threw up. Should I be worried about him?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

i never let charlie eat bones. however today we were at a family lunch with a bunch of other dogs and some family members gave them bones, and charlie ended up eating them too. 14 hours later he threw up and there was small bones there. 5 hours before that his stool was normal though. what should i do? (the vomit looked normal too not a sign of blood)

Hello. Just continue to monitor Charlie. Vomiting 14 hours after eating the bones may have cleared out any remaining irritating bones so as long as he has normal stools & a normal appetite, he should be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
