Yellow foam vomit is commonly associated with bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. It often appears when a dog’s stomach is empty, such as first thing in the morning or after long gaps between meals.

In some cases, it can be linked to mild stomach irritation, dietary changes, or eating something that didn’t agree with them. Occasional episodes, especially when a dog otherwise seems well, are often not serious.

Repeated vomiting, vomiting combined with lethargy, appetite changes, diarrhoea, or weight loss may point to something more than an empty stomach.

Conditions affecting digestion, inflammation, or underlying illness can sometimes present this way. The key difference is whether vomiting is isolated or recurring, and whether other changes are appearing alongside it.

This is where context matters more than a single episode.

Vomiting can be easy to dismiss when it happens occasionally, but patterns often emerge over time. Frequency, timing, diet changes, stress, and routine all play a role.

Using Blueprint, owners can log vomiting episodes, meals, timing, and other symptoms as they happen. This creates a clear record you can refer back to, making it easier to spot trends and share accurate information if further care is needed.
