Burping is a normal behavior performed by many dogs. Along with help from your vet, your dog may be able to train you to clean up after burps.Dogs produce excess air in their stomachs by holding it in and then releasing it through their mouths. This excess air is called belching or puking or regurgitating or vomiting. If a dog cannot get rid of this excess air, he may burp it out, a natural protective function that prevents the air from becoming acidic and toxic.Belching is not an illness and does not require veterinary care. However, your dog may need to train you to clean up after burps so that he can return to eating and playing.If you are uncomfortable cleaning up after your dog burps, put the room or area away from which the dog can escape into a crate or similar confined space until the belching has stopped. You can also praise the dog when he stops or paces away from the area to indicate that he is done.
How do you cure a dog’s burping?
Burping is a sign of regurgitation, and is your dog’s way of clearing excess gas from his stomach. Even though burping may sound unpleasant, it is not harmful to your pet.Using a rope to pull the tongue back into the mouth may help with burping, but dogs do not like the feeling of their tongues being pushed back into the mouth like this. It would be more helpful if you could train your dog not to chew on his own toys, so that he cannot regurgitate anything he chewed up. You may also discourage your pup from eating grass or dirt by providing him with appropriate chew toys made of rubber or plastic.You can also try using antacids and/or enzyme supplements for dogs to ease stomach pain and heartburn. These medications may help relieve burping by calming down your dog’s gastrointestinal tract.
