Dogs get upset stomachs like people. Dogs will eat grass to help their stomach and sometimes make them vomit.

It's time to see the vet to be sure the dog's diet doesn't need to be changed (be sure the dog has a lot of fresh water every day) or it doesn't have gastrointestinal problems.

Another answer:That could be a sign your dog is sick, but that's also the way dogs attempt to clear their throat. If absolutely nothing is coming up, or just foamy white saliva with NO stomach contents, they've probably just got something stuck in their throat (their own fur is a common culprit), and are trying to get it out.

If the episodes are rare and brief with no common cause you can identify, chances are good it isn't anything to worry about. However, if it happens often or seems to go on for a long time, you should consult a vet as soon as possible.

There are many reasons for your dog to have a difficult time defecating or pooping. Maybe it is your dog's diet, poor quality of dog food, a lack of exercise, infected anal glands, etc. etc. The best thing to do is to take your dog in to be checked out by your Veterinarian to find the reason. In the mean time, make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water, feed a good quality brand of dry dog food and not some cheap generic dog food plus good exercise such as daily walks. But be sure to take your dog to your Veterinarian to be checked out.

Just like humans, dogs can occasionally get constipated if their diet changes or if they are mildly dehydrated. Mixing a teaspoon of vegetable or olive oil in with the dog's food should help the dog, but always be sure that the dog has an adequate supply of water to drink.
