Night Time Snacks for Dogs
Quick Summary
Feeding dogs a night-time snack prevents hunger pukes caused by an empty stomach. This foaming, bilious vomiting occurs when a dog goes too long without food. Empty stomach bile irritation is particularly common in dogs transitioning from kibble to a raw food diet. The lack of carbohydrate fillers in raw diets means food digests much faster. Providing a small pre-bedtime treat keeps the digestive system active overnight. Suitable night-time snacks include high-protein options like sprats, tripe chunks, duck necks, or chicken wings. This simple feeding adjustment ensures a settled stomach and supports overnight digestive comfort.
Why feed a night time snack?
Dogs can experience “hunger pukes” which is a foaming biley sick. Dogs do this when their stomach is empty
This is especially common when transitioning from kibble to raw – because the fillers (carbs and sugars) in kibble keep the dog fuller for longer
