My dog vomited right after eating his meal. He seems fine. What to do?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 8 months old | 14.4 lbs

My dog skipped breakfast and then I served him his lunch. He ate half of it then threw it all back up within 5 minutes. I didn’t change his diet at all, and he’s been acting completely fine. What should I do?

Poor Toffee sounds sick. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
