Reasons why dogs vomit food
If a dog eats too fast or eats too much at one time, a large amount of food pours into the gastrointestinal tract, causing discomfort and vomiting. It is recommended to use a slow-feeding basin for feeding and to feed regularly and quantitatively.

Dogs accidentally eat bones, plastic bags and other foreign objects, which can block the gastrointestinal tract and cause vomiting of food. It is recommended to take a radiograph to determine the location of the foreign object and remove it. If the dog runs or plays vigorously immediately after eating, it will also cause vomiting of food. It is recommended to wait half an hour after the dog eats before taking it to play.

If the dog vomits without vomiting blood, fever, etc., and the vomited food is the food it has eaten, owners do not need to worry too much about this situation, it is generally not a problem. The reason is that you eat food too eagerly, swallowing it in big gulps without chewing it carefully, and then exercise too vigorously, and you may spit out the food you have eaten. This is rumination and is a self-protection measure.
