The Cause of Dog Vomiting

When your dog is vomiting it is a sight you do not like to see. This means there is something going on in its happy little world. Most of the times it is a health issue. If vomiting happens from time to time, it may not be reason for concern. But when the dog vomits really often, then it is time to get worried. In this article we will give a complete guide to the cause of vomiting in dogs. So let’s get started straight away...

Causes that may make your dog be sick...

1.    Be careful with insecticides and pesticides as these can cause your dog to become very ill with some of the chemicals used in their manufacture linked to cancer
2.    Your dog may have eaten something that is either out of date or just does not suit your dog's stomach
3.    Old water that has been left in the bowl for too long may also cause the problem.
4.    IBS is another cause of sickness - also known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome or (Irritable Bowel Disorder) - this is also seen in humans with the same symptoms.
5.     If your dog suddenly becomes ill after going for a walk he may have eaten a poisonous mushroom or even some Rat poison. If you think that this is the case take him to the vet immediately.
