[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog doesn’t vomit often, but by far, the most common time of day my dog vomits is the very early morning hours. I wish I’d known that the room he sleeps in overnight is the room where I’ll clean up the most vomit. I wouldn’t have had him sleep on a dog bed in my carpeted bedroom if I’d known.[/quote]

If the dog is a puppy, this is because they can only eat small amounts at a time and metabolize their food quickly. This leaves their stomach feeling pretty nauseous and unsettled first thing in the morning. Ours would puke some bile every morning while her digestive system developed. We started giving her a little snack right before we went to bed and it solved it. Obviously there are many reasons for dogs to vomit but if it's a young puppy in the morning--this is often the reason.

OP--just know there will be moments while raising a puppy that you will ask yourself "wtf did we do? Why did we blow up our life like this???" Sometimes people choose a breed or dog that is just not a match for them. But in most cases, just keep calm and carry on raising that puppy with as much patience as you can. Take classes (so much of dog training is not intuitive!), be consistent, contain the puppy to areas of the house where they can't cause too much trouble (baby gates and crates are your friends during the first year!). Set boundaries. Exercise and play make for a happier, better behaved dog.  It will all be worth it![/quote]
