How can I tell if my puppy has eaten too much?
An overfed puppy gets a bloated belly and may look uncomfortable—scratching its stomach, panting, or lying still. Some vomit undigested kibble, then yellow fluid or white foam if gastroenteritis develops. Long-term overfeeding causes obesity and related disease.
My dog vomited first (seemed like overeating, food came out) around 9pm, then again around 3am (dark brown, he ate it back) — what’s the cause?
Based on your description, the vomiting is mainly considered to be due to overeating. Eating its own vomit the second time may simply mean the dog was hungry. Keep observing, feed in small frequent meals, and see a vet if vomiting or other abnormalities continue.
My three-month-old kitten had chicken-breast cat food for the first time today; this afternoon it started twitching its nose, possibly coughing about five or six times, but with no discharge and good spirits.
Nose twitching after eating chicken-breast cat food may just be from eating too fast and choking—keep observing. If it persists, it could signal a respiratory infection, pneumonia, heart disease, or blood parasites, needing a vet check. Also avoid overfeeding favorite foods to prevent rapid eating and choking.

What are the benefits of feeding a dog pig liver?
Pig liver is rich in protein, iron, and vitamin A; moderate feeding supplements nutrients, boosts appetite, and prevents anemia. But it is high in fat and carbs, so excess causes obesity and raises diabetes, pancreatitis, and heart disease risks.
What happens if a kitten eats too much?
Kittens have small stomachs and weak digestion; overeating causes vomiting, bloating, pain, and diarrhea. Long-term overfeeding causes obesity and raises risks of diabetes, joint, and heart issues. Excess food also speeds growth, stressing bones and joints.
