    I can not give you an expert or medical answer. I can say that 1 of my dogs does this sometimes, he does not appear to be in discomfort nor upset over them. I always thought it was just the hiccups. :)

    Same here. Angel, my husky gets them quite often some times. As Bushg said, I've always thought of them to be simple hiccups. She never seems discomforted by them. But if your dog does happen to start showing discomfort or starts coughing then it may be best to take him to the vet, specially if the hiccups decide not to stop.

    When my dog was a puppy he used to get the hiccups a lot the vet told us is normal and not to worry about it. It just means they are growing their inside is expanding a bit as they get bigger. Don't worry when your dog gets stomach problems he/she will automatically will go eat grass outside.
