Is there any medication that the dog gets every 2-3 months? I know some people space flea medicine out to about that time.

Bravecto
Flea medicine

I have a Great Dane that had similar issues and we changed food and changed his feeding times. Haven’t had a issue since.

if its happening often he might have swallowed something to clog him up, you should take him for exrays to be sure.

not sure how old he is but when ours started doing that the vet said he was just old (14 yrs) and his intestines would get twisted inside and then they get blocked up so he couldnt get food to go down, so it comes up. he also wouldnt poop when he was having the vomiting thing.

he said nothing we could do but put him down if it got too bad and didnt clear up. we got lucky and he was ok for another year with just 2 or 3 spells.

Yeah the Taste of the Wild is grain free as well. He did much better on it than others. I just figured if it was food allergies he wouldn’t do so well for 2 months before displaying symptoms again.

Id imagine if I licked my own butt and sack I’d vomit every once in a while too

When you say introduce new food, do it gradually over the course a few days.

Also this. But get canned pumpkin. Not the pie filling. There is a difference and only give a couple teaspoons a day.


Also, if its a food allergy of some kind and you switch food. It needs to be gradually. Not all at once. You need to find the common ingredients with the foods you keep buying and start narrowing down what the dog might be allergic too. Another thing Id do is a little research on the type of dog you have. Some breeds are more prone to be allergic to certain things and/or ingredients. A high percentage of English Bulldogs are allergic to chicken. Mine is and I keep him on a chicken free diet and he is just fine. A lot of breeds do not do well with potatoes and grains. But those are very common in lower tier foods. Of the ones ones you listed, TOTW would be the only one I would try and that is only if it was the only bag left on the shelf. They have had some recalls over the last couple of years. You might want to try a food with a higher star rating. Yes they cost more, but the better product might be what your pup needs.
Just my $.02. Good luck

How old is your dog?

Sounds like classic food allergies to me which is why we started changing the food.

This is probably obvious, but I didn't notice anyone else mention it. If you're changing food and it's not going away, check the ingredients in all the food to see which ingredients are similar. This should at least narrow down the list of possible allergens, and then you can either go get a test for allergies to those specific things, or keep trying new food that eliminates some of those common ingredients until it stops.

Few years ago I was having a similar issue with my dog but it was with those treats that are supposed to be good for their teeth and gums. Kept switching up the treats but it didn't stopped. Ended up checking and noticing that all of them had chlorophyll. Found him some without chlorophyll, problem solved.

He’s a 3 yr old Lab.

I’ll have to start checking all the food I’ve tried and see.
And I always gradually introduce the food slowly. I also have a mutt (boxer/maybe Doberman mix?) and always am switching his food too even though he doesn’t have problems. He probably could care less though.

What kind of food do you recommend if TOTW is bottom of the barrel for you? I don’t mind paying extra (already at $50/bag) if this goes away.
