When your dog spits up, it’s only natural to feel some concern. Especially if it’s not a particularly common event in your four-legged household. While your instinct may be to dial up the vet as quickly as you can, there are plenty of circumstances where some tender love and care will suffice as proper treatment. Knowing when to call the pros and when to wait it out could save you plenty of time, headache and unnecessary expenses.

Is your dog vomiting or spitting up white foam? While this can be alarming at first, usually you can quickly figure out what’s going on. While some of these reasons are severe, many will resolve on their own ― so don’t panic. The important part is whether your dog seems sick. If your dog is acting normally, just keep a close eye on them. However, if you notice them acting lethargic or otherwise acting unwell, it’s wise to give your vet a call.
