Franny throws up a lot

[Kfam]

Hi All,
So ever since Fran was a puppy (now almost 1.5) she vomits and quickly eats it back up randomly throughout the day. She’s always done it and I sort of just thought it was a bulldog thing. But now I’ve been thinking, is this not normal? It’s just a quick throw up and before you could blink your eye, she gobbles it back up, nothing drawn out and dramatic like choking etc…. She eats instinct, frozen raw bites twice a day. She does have quite an underbite, the vet has commented that her other teeth don’t exactly line up either and I wondered if maybe she’s not able to chew her food well enough? I’m wondering if maybe I should make her meals smaller and let her eat three times a day to see if that helps. Does anyone else feed their dog three times a day? Or does anyone else’s dogs do this too?

What protein are you feeding? Does she vomit the meal or is it a small regurgitation?

Currently she is on a bag of chicken, before this she has lamb, beef, pork… doesn’t seem to make a difference. Usually, it’s just a small amount comes up, but occasionally it is a larger portion of her food that comes up. I can tell she does it overnight as well because in the mornings I can see little stain spots on the blanket where she “cleaned” it lol... I’m starting to think maybe her portions are too big. She’s been getting about half a pound for breakfast and half a pound for dinner… she uses a slow feeder too.

What does she weight? Half pound may be too much. Company will always give higher guidelines because they need you to buy more. I’d cut her back some and see if it helps.

She’s 47 lbs…. I was thinking I needed to put a few lbs on her LOL
Yes I’ll def try smaller portions and see how it goes!

Can you post a picture from above so we can she her waist line? Also is she taller? 47 isn’t a bad weight for a female, it’s actually really good.

She’s not really tall…& she loves food. I wonder if I should do 3 meals while decreasing meal portions. here are some pics:

She looks good to me! Try the three meals

Nothing is wrong with her size. Yes, she does look good.

I think it’s regurgitation. She’s eating too fast. You need a slow feeder. Jake had that issue n the slow feeder bowl helped him enormously. My slow feeder is harder to get to as it has a tighter maze pattern. The tighter the patter the slower they eat. If you can find one in stainless great. This one is also dishwasher safe.

Attached is what I have. I squeeze his raw meat in it

Thanks! She does have a slow feeder, just started her on a new one that has more of a maze design. Today she had 3 smaller meals and did much better

my puppy does the same but only when we leave him alone in his crate. Off to buy a slow feeder and some more toys tomorrow hope that helps him!
