My 9 week old chocolate lab, Sadie, seems to get the hiccups a lot just randomly. When she wakes up, when we’re outside in the yard, when she’s just laying in her bed chewing a toy. I’d get it if it was after wolfing down food, but it seems like they come on for no reason. Normal?
I had to look this up too. It is normal for puppies to get the hiccups frequently, especially when they are excited or wake up from naps or have just eaten- so quite a lot! As long as the episodes settle down in a reasonable time frame there's no need to worry. They also become less frequent with age.
Our pup used to get hiccups a lot too, she almost 5 months old now and they're much less frequent now.
