How much do you feed a dog after being sick?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Keep the portion size small. When a dog refuses to eat, getting nutrients into her is important. Try feeding her smaller amounts, just one or two spoonfuls to start. Little and often is ideal, so offering a spoonful (depending on the size of the dog) every hour, rather than one big meal a day, can do the trick.


How much should I feed my dog after vomiting?

Once vomiting stops, introduce a bland, low-fat food, and feed your dog small amounts three to six times daily for a few days.

How much should you feed a sick dog?

What should I feed my dog after he has been sick?

One of the most common ways to help a dog that is recovering from vomiting is to feed them a bland diet (usually white rice, sweet potato, boiled chicken or white fish).

Do you feed a dog after it throws up?
