puppy upset stomach

Question
Hello,
My puppy has an upset stomach and I was wondering what I can do or give him to make it better. Also, are home-cooked meals better than commercial food?

thank you for your time

Answer
Hello, A puppy should not be vomiting constantly or for extended periods if he is then he is likely eaten something he shouldn't have or is otherwise sick and needs to see his vet right away. Puppies are prone to upset tummies, On average puppies aged 7-12 weeks will vomit once a week after that they normally less easy to get upset tummies in older puppies. If the puppy is vomiting multiple times daily chances are the food isn't agreeing with his tummy and needs to be changed or he is eating table scraps that are upsetting his tummy or is eating things he shouldn't like stuffing from toys/chocolate(highly highly toxic)/buttons...bits of fabric from toys or bedding ect ect or may be really sick so if he is vomiting many times daily see his vet right away. I am unsure if homecooked meals are better they need alot of supplementing from what I gathered and i personally haven't tryed homecooked meals I feed my three dogs Blue buffalo and they love it plus it is holistic so cant get much better to me its easy to feed and contains no by products is holistic and contains many things people eat day to day like brown rice and whole meal like chicken. If you can find a dry kibble that contains no by products and starts the ingredient list with whole meat like chicken/lamb or fish then you can be safe feeding a store bought food. Best of luck with your puppy. And if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.
