Well, when my dog gets hiccups, I press two fingers in front of the back legs but behind the rib cage. In other words, where the hips are, you must place your two fingers in front of the joint and massage the area. You may have to move around a little depending on the dog, but my dog's hiccups end about 20 seconds after the massage. Do not put much pressure on it and don't ask me how I know this! I just pet my dogs and when he had hiccups, I would massage him all over until I found an area that would stop the hiccups. I also know 3 acupuncture points which are all over the ears, the hips like to get rid of hiccups, and to place two fingers on either side of the muzzle under the eyes and be very calm. This calms them down and I learned these on my own. I'm only 12!!!!

How do you get hiccups away from dogs?

My female puggle gets hiccups, its just like as if & when we get hiccups, but not that loud! for example she will be sitting there & then start to get hiccups and since her mouth is closed her head goes back (kinda like when one sneezes) and her belly expands and you hear a slight hiccup, it will happen a few times in a row. She did it more frequent when she was a puppy and now it rarely happens.

Give your dog a belly rub above the navel, and below the ribcage. The belly hiccupping under your hand will feel strange but that's the onle safe way to do it. If the hiccups keep going for more than a day,you should probably call your vet. :)
