Is your dog a gulper or a chewer ? I have a black lab that pukes after every meal that he's 'gulped'. Never fails...if he woofs, he barfs and ALWAYS on the carpet. Never on the tile ! He will actually go out of his way to go barf on the carpet. I just scoop it up real quick w/a dustpan and a spatula and then spray it down w/some pet stain remover right away, let it sit and then blot up the stain.
I always thought it was something in particular that the dog ate but it's purely from just eating too fast. Their stomachs get full of air on top of all of that undigested food . That causes expansion and then compulsive vomiting to ease the pressure. That's probably what's going on w/your dog. My dog is otherwise very healthy. I just worry about this and he also has a problem w/a collapsing trachea. I'm thinking THAT could have been aggravated by all the vomiting he does because vomiting causes strain on the esophagus and throat muscles.
