Why puppies get hiccups is because of a sudden spasm of the diaphragm that snaps the vocal cords shut causing a sound; but why the spasm happens in the first place remains a bit of a mystery (for humans too as far as we\u2019re concerned) and research has never come up with a common conclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiccups are mostly seen in puppies and less in dogs as they grow older because their internal chest and abdominal muscles are still developing. But we\u2019ve come up with a few reasons to explain why puppies get hiccups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eating too fast:<\/strong> Puppies aren\u2019t known for much patience with food, so wolfing food down like it\u2019s going to self-destruct in 2 seconds can set off the hiccups.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drinking too fast:<\/strong> No not the pints! Just plain old water if drunk too quickly can make your pup sound like they\u2019ve spent all day at the Dog and Duck!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Irritating food:<\/strong> Eating something that has made their stomach upset tends to be a trigger for puppy hiccups. We tend to give pups a variety of treats when training so anything new to them or a bit rich can cause the hiccups to say hello.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Excitement: <\/strong>How adorable is that? When exciting things happen like new visitors arriving, an exciting walk in the park, kids coming home from school or meeting new doggy friends, puppy hiccups can make a loud appearance.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Running: <\/strong>Breathing heavily and panting can cause puppy hiccups too.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mystery:<\/strong> Yep. Sometimes, puppy hiccups can start for no obvious reason at all!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Pomeranian puppy being held by owner\" class=\"wp-image-2425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-scaled-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/flouffy-Q2r1ED_O_zU-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@theflouffy?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">FLOUFFY<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to stop or prevent hiccups in puppies&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many old wives tales that people use in an attempt to relieve themselves from hiccups. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve heard or done some jumping, holding your breath, swallowing up-side-down or yawning. But as you can imagine, it might be an incredible challenge to get your pup to do even half of these. And not going to lie, it will make you look like a nutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can you deal with your puppy\u2019s hiccups? Good news is that most of the time you won\u2019t have to and letting them pass on their own will be the way to go about it. But there are indeed a few things you can try if your pup seems bothered by them &#8211; you know how annoying they can be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Help them relax and breathe more slowly, stroking them, talking in a soft voice and help the breathing soften and the hiccups pass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rub their tummy if they roll over for a rub. Make sure you don\u2019t force your pup onto their back though!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help your puppy to have a drink. This can be quite tricky to do, so we suggest you offer them a sip slowly with maybe just a couple of drops of water on a spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help them slow down when chomping on meals by using a slow feeder bowl or serving smaller meals more often. Also let them rest after a meal for about an hour before exercise so their food can go down properly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When are puppy hiccups a health concern?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the start, puppy hiccups can look terrifying as a new puppy parent. They can sometimes sound like ambulance alarms, can\u2019t they? Especially when they make their tiny bodies jolt\u2026they can cause quite a hectic scene. But most of the time, they are really nothing to worry about and are completely normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are chances of puppy hiccups being a sign of less friendly things in your pup. If there are occasions where your puppy is getting hiccups regularly and they are lasting for hours at a time, they could indicate an underlying health problem so it might be a good idea to have them checked by your vet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppy hiccups can be a symptom of common conditions such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Asthma or other respiratory issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pneumonia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heart problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A swallowed object&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An upset stomach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If puppy hiccups are paired with fever, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite and or coughing, you should definitely get them looked at by your vet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for the rest of the time, puppy hiccups are completely normal and something they will grow out of over time. It\u2019s just a normal part of being a pup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"dog on leading looking up at owner\" class=\"wp-image-2424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/luzelle-cockburn-EJYWrC2A7Zg-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@luzelle?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Luzelle Cockburn<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That just about wraps up everything you need to know about puppy hiccups.
