Thanks for reaching out about your 13-week-old puppy's vomiting and dry-heaving. I completely understand why you’re worried—puppies are more susceptible to dehydration and other complications.
Vomiting and dry-heaving in puppies can be caused by several things, such as eating too quickly, ingesting something they shouldn’t have, or even motion sickness if they’ve been traveling. Sometimes, it could indicate a food intolerance or a gastrointestinal issue like an infection or parasite.
For at-home care, make sure your pup stays hydrated. Offer small amounts of water but avoid giving them any food until they’ve stopped vomiting for a couple of hours. Once things settle a bit, introduce a bland diet like plain boiled chicken and rice in small quantities.
Watch for signs that indicate it might be something more serious, such as lethargy, blood in the vomit, diarrhea, or if they can't keep water down. Puppies can dehydrate quickly, so if any of these symptoms occur, seek veterinary care promptly.
To get more clarity on your puppy's condition and tailored advice, consider booking a video consult with one of us at Dial A Vet. It’ll be helpful to see your puppy and discuss any other symptoms he might be showing.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
