A dog vomiting white foam while energetic may have several causes. One: the gut hasn't adjusted to new food, and the foam is excess stomach acid. Two: the dog is too hungry, with excess acid and no food. Three: eating too fast or too much raises gut pressure. Four: a foreign object stuck in the esophagus or throat irritates the digestive tract and causes foam.
