Vomiting brown suggests your dog has taken in something harmful to his stomach. Withhold food for 12-24 hours before gradually reintroducing bland items such as chicken and rice as part of his regular meal regimen.
Be sure to offer your pet plenty of water to prevent dehydration; many times they won’t want to drink when vomiting.

Chicken
Though many dogs won’t eat during episodes of vomiting, they should still be offered food. A vet may suggest giving your pup a bland diet consisting of white rice, sweet potato and boiled chicken for optimal nutrition and an easier stomach. It is better than leaving him to forage for table scraps which could potentially contain foreign objects or toxins which cause more vomiting episodes.
If your pet is vomiting frequently and acting abnormal, their veterinarian may prescribe Imodium, Pepto Bismol or Pepcid to reduce nausea and reduce vomiting. Although not widely available at pet stores, these medicines can usually be purchased online or from most pharmacies. Eggs are an excellent source of protein but should be avoided if its vomit contains white foamy material as this could indicate stomach acid build-up or that something has caused them to feel queasy.
Fennel
Your dog has been vomiting feces or liquid, it is important to contact Riverview veterinarian immediately as this will allow them to perform blood and urine tests, identify its source and prescribe medicine or provide fluids as soon as possible.
An unhealthy dog may be prescribed Cerenia medication, which acts on a trigger zone in the brain to stop vomiting and stimulates digestion of food by the stomach. Your vet may also suggest giving him/her a bland diet including rice, sweet potatoes or chicken with skin removed as a means to combat their illness.
Catnip tincture may help calm and settle their stomach, or add some to their food or water bowl as a pinch. Pumpkin is also good as an anti-inflammatory.
Ginger
Vomiting can be distressful for everyone involved, and can even signal serious health concerns for dogs. Vomiting may occur for various reasons: to rid their system of anything that shouldn’t have been consumed (like grass or cardboard) or to address an allergy or health concern like pancreatitis.
If your dog is vomiting, Sheen suggests withholding food for 12 hours so their tummy can rest, gradually introducing small portions of boiled rice and chicken over 24 to 48 hours as long as they remain steady. If vomiting persists, call your vet.
Animal herbalist Cat Lane suggests using antiemetics to soothe a vomiting dog. Ginger and fennel seeds both offer antiemetic properties which will likely put an end to vomiting episodes in no time! You could try powdered ginger mixed in honey for an irresistibly tasty treat that your pup might take to. These warming herbs also move energy inward, making your pooch feel better quickly!
Chamomile
If your dog is throwing up frequently and their gums appear pale or dry, contact a vet immediately as this could be a telltale sign of dehydration or even more serious illness such as an intestinal foreign body or liver/kidney issues.
White and foamy vomiting typically indicates either too much stomach acid buildup, or perhaps that something they shouldn’t have eaten has been left for their gut to process, according to Sheen. Clear vomiting may also occur if a dog drinks water while feeling queasy, which leads to pooled fluid coming up through their vomit when vomiting occurs.
An antiemetics like ginger and fennel may help alleviate your nausea, while catnip tincture will also work wonders in soothing your stomach and reducing food sensitivity. Combine 15 drops in 1 ounce of filtered water and administer by teaspoon full daily or as necessary.
