My Springer Spaniel Keeps Burping Why ?

 DOG BURPING

I have never heard a dog burp but apparently they do I have searched the internet for an answer and it seems burping in dogs is caused by taking in to much air when eating see Quotes below does your springer burp after meals or at other times ?

"The two most common sources of gastrointestinal gas are swallowed air and bacterial fermentation of nutrients. The former will tend to cause eructation (burping), the latter flatulence."

"If she eats/drinks fairly fast, she is most likely swallowing some air causing her to burp after she eats"

Re DOG BELCHING 

Our vet suggested we raise her feed & water dish, you can buy them in combo, so they are 12 to 18" off the floor, depending on the height of your dog. Since we did this she has not had a problem with belching

Hope this helps
