Puppy Vomiting After Eating

So my French Mastiff puppy has puked twice after eating, both times in the morning. Is it probably because he's eating too fast? I haven't changed his food or when he eats or how much he eats. Maybe I should only give him a bit in the morning and then more in the afternoon? Or something in his food dish? :confused:

I would try smaller amounts and slow him down with his eating. Does it just look like he is bringing only the food back up? We had this problem with our Lab when he was young and the breeder told us to float his food in water. It slows him down and also lowers the amount of food he will gorge on. We don't have to do it anymore now that he is 8 but when he was younger, it was the only way to keep him from choking on his food. Regardless, your puppy should be eating more than once in the day. Not sure how old he is but it is better to make it 3 small meals instead of one large one. Also, feed him by the handful to help slow him down and to also prevent food aggression/possessiveness. Hope he feels better soon but if he continues to throw up, get him checked by your vet.

you can also stick a big rock or a can of peas or something in the bowl;, he will have to eat around it therefore It'll slow him down

You need to make small pieces of your diet and then to give your puppy and hope there will be some different results and the problem is that your puppy eats too fast.

I think it is better to visit a vet and get it cured so as to avoid complications in the future. I suggest opting for a good dog training course will ultimately help you to avoid the problems in the future. So, look for a good dog training course available for you online.
