My puppy threw up his dinner but seems fine. What should I do now?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 1 day old | 20 lbs

My puppy threw up what looks like all his food from his evening feeding. Around 6pm I fed him 1.5 cups of dry food mixed with .5 cups of wet food. He seems fine right now and doesn’t have any other symptoms. Should I be concerned?

Hi, and thanks for your question. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
