How often does your Frenchie puke?

[CutieFrenchie]

My pet loved the fresh pet food for 2 days and now today he walked passed it. My Zen is very picky and I don’t know what to do.

Lol that's unfortunate. Which variety is it?

Hello, I am new to this forum. I am only posting because my husband told me to share what we have gone through and what finally helped our Stella. We have had a 11 year old frenchie who sadly passed in April. We currently have a almost 10 year old and just got french bulldog puppies who are 12 weeks old. Our 11 year old had countless problems over the years and we spent literally thousands of dollars on her with no real help from the countless vet visits. I always found forums and other owners more helpful than the vets unfortunately. Our 10 year old threw up off and on her entire life and we spent countless money at the vets with no help just lots of prescriptions. She also had very loose bowels. She was a very picky eater and we tried quite a few brands of very expensive kibble to every fresh dog food out on the market as well as make my own dog food for her. When we started talking with the breeder we just got our new puppies from I told her about this constant struggle. She told me to give her a spoonful of Kirkland Greek yogurt with her food in the morning and try Kirkland chicken and vegetable adult dog food and 2-4 thawed frozen blueberries from Kirland cut in half at night with her feeding. I thought this was crazy except we met a guy with a 15 year old frenchie a few months ago and I asked him what he fed his dog because we have had this constant struggle all of her years so I asked everyone what they fed their frenchies so this was the second time we heard it. So when the breeder said that we thought what the heck we have tried everything else lets give it a try. Stella was so picky I literally had to hand feed her for years and we basically begged her to eat. We thought we were also going to lose her too. Miraculously she ate the Kirkland food like it was chopped filet mignon. She loved the yogurt too. The blueberries are hit and miss. She has not thrown up since we switched to this food. Her coat looks healthier than it ever has. Her eyes look better, she has put n weight and even our 31 year old son said she just looks so much younger. I would not believe this if I did not go through it ourselves. The breeder said it has no soy, no corn and no wheat. Her dogs look gorgeous and she has changed our Stella's life. I am so grateful I wanted to share. The vets never helped me. None of the food they suggested worked. I hope this helps your baby.

The turkey meal one. But it’s so weird now he loves it but I switched him to farmers dogs.

Charlie has always puke randomly every few weeks or so. Was told this is somewhat normal in dogs bc they are dogs. Just yellow foam. Sometimes with digested or undigested food. Strands of hair. Small slivers of plastic from her Benebones. She's a little over 2 years old now.

It has been a lot worse the past few months. The majority is in the middle of the night. She wakes up and gets off the bed and starts grunting. Big piles and small piles. Just this week, she has puked 3 different days. Yellow foam in the morning after her walk before breakfast. She encountered a big dog that got her excited and agitated. Thought it could have been due to empty stomach and the stress.

Last night, she threw up 2 tiny piles of digested food with some chunks in it. The sizes of the pile were about a quarter only.

Tonight, she just threw up again. This time only 1 tiny pile, same quarter size or so. I did see a big stand of hair while picking it up.

At first we thought it was the Dasuquin chews we were given to by the vet for luxating patella in Nov. She would throw up after about 30-60 mins after taking it, which we gave to her with her dinner. We thought even though it's soft, maybe it was too big for her, so we broke it up into smaller pieces. Which did help but would still throw up in the middle of the night. Eventually we just started crumbling it into powder and that helped even more but wasn't a total success. The directions stated to start giving her just one every other day after the first couple of weeks. Her pukes will generally fall on supplement day. We did talk to the vet and she suggested we try Cosequin instead. Might ge easier on her tummy.

Anyways yesterday was at 3AM. Today was 3:30AM. Most of the time, she gets up to let us know to go potty. Otherwise we'll hear her start grunting and we scramble to grab a towel or mat to lay down.

Last night night was her last Dasuquin. I actually anticipated her to throw up bc I saw a small chunk of it that didn't crumble all the way when we it was added to her food. Pea size. No supplement tonight but maybe it was the hair.

We also changed her food to FreshPet around Nov but we imagine if it was food related, the puking would happen throughout the day instead of majority being at night and be even more frequently. Breakfast is at 8am. Dinner at 5pm. Very consistent.

Hi, mine used to puke, I now give her smaller and more frequent meals, one just before bed too, as if she has an empty tummy, I think it causes an acid build up. More frequent and smaller meals has stopped her puking
