Hiccups

My dog always has hiccups. He can be just walking around and start to hiccup. Is this a serious problem that I should be concerned about?

    Young dogs will often hiccup. He probably eats his food or drinks his water too fast and takes in a lot of air. If he's otherwise well, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It should pass as he matures.

    Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks
