My dog keeps throwing up. Is it time for the vet or home care?

Question

My dog has been vomiting a lot today. He has probably vomited about 8 times. Should I take him to a veterinarian or is there something I can give him at home? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be observed with conditions such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. For this reason, I highly recommend that you have Bambi evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid he is likely becoming dehydrated. They would be able to check for these possibilities and also check his hydration status and give him medications to make him feel better. Good luck!
