One of the best ways to help a dog that is recovering from vomiting is to feed a bland diet, ideally one which has been scientifically formulated to be bland and easily digestible with nutrients included to support recovery. If your dog has been treated by your vet, then they may also give your dog a specially prescribed diet and some medication to help them feel less sick. Your vet may give your dog plenty of fluids, either to drink or via a drip, and they may need to use a variety of different treatments and investigations depending on why your dog was sick. If your dog is unexpectedly sick as a one off, and shows no other signs, then there’s a good chance that you may not need to worry. Dogs, like us, are usually sick to help empty their system of anything difficult to digest, but sometimes it might be a sign of an underlying illness, health concern or an indicator that something else is going on.
If you suspect they have eaten a foreign body or suspect that they have eaten, or been exposed to a poison, then it may be time to call your vet.
If you're worried about your dog's health, always contact your vet immediately.
