My dog keeps spitting up water after drinking. Is it serious?

Question

My Cavachon is 5 years old. When she drinks water she always brings up a tiny amount of water afterwards. Been doing this for a long time now. Could this be a problem? She’s not showing any signs of health issues, eats well. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 16 lbs

She is likely just drinking the water too fast or too much at one time. The only concern would be her risk of aspirating the water. If she does this with food as well, I would have your vet take a look at her. Otherwise, just keep an eye on her and just let her have small amounts of water frequently rather than a large amount at any given time. This may help decrease the frequency of the spit up. I hope this helps!
