White and foamy vomit in dogs can often be linked to a few common causes. It might occur when a dog has an empty stomach and is vomiting bile, or it could be a mild case of gastritis. Additionally, stress, dietary indiscretion, or a change in diet can also trigger this type of vomiting.

Given that your dog is vomiting multiple times a day and this has been happening for a day, it's crucial to monitor the situation closely. Here are some steps you can take at home to help your dog:

First, consider managing their diet by temporarily withholding food for 12 to 24 hours. This allows your dog's stomach to settle. However, make sure they have access to fresh water to prevent dehydration.

After this fasting period, you can gradually reintroduce food by starting with a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, served in small, frequent meals. Over the next few days, slowly transition back to their regular diet.

It's also important to ensure your dog stays hydrated. You might offer ice cubes or small amounts of water frequently to encourage fluid intake.

Keep an eye out for any additional symptoms, such as lethargy, diarrhea, or changes in behavior. These could indicate a more serious issue.

If the vomiting continues beyond a day or two, or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. Persistent vomiting can lead to dehydration and might require medical intervention.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
