Chato regularly get hickups. Not just little ones. These things are funny to watch. I talked to a friend that has two boxers he said his get them all the time. The vet told me to raise his bowl, but that gave him gas. Is there anything i can do or do your dogs get hickups too?

It is not uncommon in pups since they are gulping food, air and water. LOL---little piggies.
But just have them take a drink of water. Or even use a squirt bottle to give them water. Makes the hiccups go right away

Along those lines
Hey guys,
Copper gets the hickups but worse yet, he throws up his food alot just after consuming it. Is this normal as well? I think I should raise his bowl but he has this habbit of grabbing a mouth full of food and dumping it all over the kitchen floor, then he hoovers it up one by one! What can I do...will the throwing up pass?
Thank you so much for any feedback.

Two thoughts:
1. Yes, raise his bowl
2. Ration the food. If he does insist on taking chunks and putting them on the floor, feed him one tablespoon at a time in his bowl. Kind of like feeding a baby except you put the spoonful in the bowl instead of his mouth
Kind of a pain, but he can't pig out on his food if you only give him a mouthful at one time. That should slow him down
