Seeing your dog vomit can be scary and messy—especially if it happens more than once. It's natural to feel worried and wonder if something serious is going on.

Common Reasons Dogs Vomit
Vomiting isn’t always a sign of illness, but it’s something to pay attention to. Common causes include:
Eating something they shouldn’t – Trash, table scraps, or outdoor surprises
Diet change or food intolerance – Sudden new food can upset their stomach
Motion sickness – Some dogs get car sick, just like people
Parasites – Intestinal worms can lead to vomiting
Infections or viruses – Like parvo, especially in puppies
Toxin exposure – Chocolate, plants, or medications
Underlying illness – Liver, kidney, or pancreatic disease
