Why does my dog vomit after morning exercise? Is it chronic?

Question

Hi - My 4YO Lab has had vomiting (and regurgitating) problems his whole life. We usually just attribute it to eating something he wasn't supposed to and it usually doesn't happen more than once or twice a month. Recently (not every day, but often) he has been vomiting in the morning after his exercise. He usually eats before walking, and recently we have also been using small treats to help improve his walking behavior. Could any of this, anxiety, or a chronic issue be causing this? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

I would recommend having Beamer evaluated by a vet. It's not normal to have vomiting and/or regurgitation regularly, and that extra acid in the stomach could lead to problems in the future. Your vet may want to do x-rays or other diagnostics to check for megaesophagus or other issues with the esophagus and stomach. They may recommend antacids, a different type of food, or a hypoallergenic diet.
