How can nearly losing your business help you shift from one mindset to another? Welcome back to The Property Management Show, where we deep dive into the world of property management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. I’m your host, Marie Tepman from Fourandhalf Marketing Agency. Today, we are joined by Ping Hsu, who has built something really incredible that a lot of people are striving to build. We're talking about how he got there and what mistakes were made along the way so that we can learn from those for ourselves. PUT TABLE HERE What Did Ping Hsu Think He Was Building? In 2019, when Spotted Properties began working with Fourandhalf, it was a much smaller company. Ping had begun as a real estate investor, and after considering a career in engineering decided that real estate is what he wanted to do long-term. Property management was something that he did on occasion, and he saw it as a way to expand his network. When he could not find the right property manager for his own properties, he combined the real estate and the property management and things grew from there. The recurring income in property management was especially attractive. Spotted Properties grew from about 130 doors in 2019 to around 800 doors today. What happened during that journey? How Can Marketing and Opportunity Help a Property Management Company Expand? Ping says that working with Fourandhalf allowed the company to build a good foundation for marketing. They were ranking in the top three on Google, and their social presence really exploded, which created a lot of demand. Add to that the fact that a few property management companies in Hamilton failed, so new clients were being on-boarded pretty quickly. This led to a larger payroll and a desire to run a more passive business as an owner. As the expansion really took off, it was impossible not to see all the opportunities for mini-businesses. Because Ping was dealing with so many vendors and watching money come in and out, he began to wonder why he was constantly paying all these people. Painting, for example, was something he always had to hire people to do. There was a lot of money spent on waste management. And pest control. Real estate agents. So many of these basic services seemed to be costing him a lot of money, and he wondered if that was money he could earn instead. So Spotted Properties began to internalize those systems. Eventually, sixteen or seventeen employees were on board, as well as a real estate team and a marketing budget, and this is how Ping realized it's possible to scale a company too fast. He could see that they were spread too thin. When Is It Time to Start Saying No and Focus on Your Core Business? It's tempting to want to continue adding lines of business. If you have a friend who can spray for pests, it seems easy enough to take on the pest control right? It seems like it's going to make you more money than paying an outsider. Exiting does not have to be difficult and it does not have to jeopardize your business. Ping began to notice: He was paying technicians to do the work he did not want to pay outside vendors to do, but they did not have full schedules. Yet, he still had to pay them. The math makes sense when those employees are busy all the time (or even 75% of the time). It's still extra payroll when you're trying to keep up with three or four businesses and you need to develop ways to keep your employees busy. This was the time to look at the company's core area of expertise and stick to what they did best. Another temptation? Virtual assistants. Here are the challenges that Ping discovered with VAs: It was hard to find a good fit, especially given the general difference in time zones. It was easy to delegate the things he didn't want to do, like phone calls and vendor coordination. Quality dropped and everyone got frustrated. Ping stopped and asked himself what his core business was. What was his profession? The answer was pretty simple: property management. He began integrating up instead of integrating down. What does that mean? For Ping and his business, it meant focusing on asset management and doing more than what typically property management companies did. The real estate sales raised capital for the long-term holds. The company began focusing on property management again, but they created an entire ecosystem that fed into the core property management base. How Can Property Managers Position Themselves as Asset Managers and Advisors? In today's market, it can feel like basic property management is a commodity. Ping says one of the most important things his company did was to stop seeing themselves as property managers. Once he removed that label, the real growth began. Here's what he did: Began a YouTube channel called Property Hustlers. He talked about how to invest in real estate, which during COVID a lot of people were interested in, thanks to a strong market. Provided education through video on how to acquire properties, how to finance them, and how to manage the operations. Shifting the conversation from how to manage a property to how to plan for additional investments. Beginning conversations on a higher level. There was no longer any space to argue with a client about why a repair is $75 instead of $55. Relationships with investors became more meaningful, and growth was pretty quick. Ping credits something he heard at a Fourandhalf conference, where it was suggested that if every owner you work with added one more door to their portfolio, you'd double your property management business. That made sense to him and it's why he decided to position the company a little differently. Is it Possible to Double Your Property Management Business? Ping said he did it by talking to owners about new things. They might approach him hoping to discuss their owner statements, and he'd refer them to someone else within the company. What he wanted to discuss was how to save several hundred dollars every month and how to earn $40k to $60k by the end of the year. The conversation shifted and the owners began listening. Introduce me as your mentor. That was Ping's instruction to the owners he was working with. Not to introduce him as their property manager, but as their real estate investment mentor. “He's been walking me through how to increase my portfolio.” “You should talk to Ping for more advice.” It took a year to fully shift his identity from property manager to investment advisor. It's not that Ping has neglected the property management part of his business. He has well-trained staff taking care of the day to day and when investors buy their new properties, they understand that he has a role in how they're managed. But he created his own brand, eXP Real Estate, to separate himself from the owner statements and the leasing and the tenants and to focus more on the long-term strategies of owners who listen to his advice. Once he created this separation, everything changed. Does Video Content Really Make a Difference? Ping says that it does. When he was making YouTube videos, he could create educational conversations for specific things that owners might be thinking about, and then he'd send those videos to them. Maybe it's a video on how to stabilize a portfolio or how to offload a property that's not performing. He could control the narrative. As he stuck with this new approach, he found it was eventually easier to raise capital and that he was doing more transactions within the same client audience. Good things take time. Trial and error also takes time. It's hard to remember this when you're growing your property management business, but it's an important lesson. Who Are the Owner Leads that Mean the Most? The shift Ping implemented in his own business meant a shift in the owners he wanted to work with at Spotted Properties. Only two types of portfolios are their targets: student rentals and multifamily properties. These are the owners he looks for. Student rentals are a great niche because the turnover timing is so predictable. This is something Fourandhalf has always talked about: identify the properties and the owners that fit your business model and your target margins. When you're just starting out, it makes sense to take on any property that needs to be managed. You don't yet know what the good fit might be. For example, Ping thought Airbnbs would be a good idea. He tested out three or four Airbnb properties and knew it was not going to work for him going forward. What Can We Learn About How Ping and His Partner Created Property Hustlers? Some questions Marie had about how Ping and his business partner Andrew created the Property Hustlers YouTube channel and brand: How did Ping prepare the team for this shift? Was the Spotted Properties team completely outside of this endeavor? Were there any conversations had? Did processes change to account for this new approach? Ping said he and Andrew were intentional about hiring people smarter than them when it came to understanding property management. That increased the cost of talent but it also meant they (Ping and Andrew) could also remove themselves from a lot of the day to day work. Turns out the team was more than happy to get them out of the way. Now, that team had the authority they needed to make the property management part of the business really work well. Why does it matter that the staff is happy? It creates employee retention. Efficiency and trust increase. It keeps clients happy. They know they're working with a good company when they're dealing with the same people year after year. How Has Marketing Evolved in this Growth Story? Ping's property management company successfully showed up in the top three hits for Hamilton, Ontario on Google, thanks to the blogs they were writing and the SEO-driven website. Reviews were coming in, too, and despite a few bad reviews (there are always a few), his Google review stars were at about 4.4. Then, he shut down Google reviews. Why? They stopped using a phone line, hoping to move entirely online, and Ping knew that was going to create some frustration with tenants. He didn't want to open himself up to a lot of bad reviews all at once. They weren't trying to grow their property management business. A natural progression was what they were after, but there was no interest in adding another hundred doors or more. They're back to working on marketing specifically for student rentals, using Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to attract new leads in the student rental space. Right now, they're working with about 140 owners on around 800 doors. That's counting each student tenant as their own door. Operational Questions: How Can Property Managers Create this Kind of Vertical Integration? Marie and Ping have talked about where he started and what he's built. How can other property management companies learn from this? Here's what Ping suggests: Communication. Start by creating a different domain for communication. As the company owner, you want to reduce the communication you're doing on the things that aren't as important. You don't want to be responding to complaints. Team Building. You have to trust your team to solve those problems and deal with those complaints. Establish Scope. Map out what you're doing and what your team is doing. If you have the right talent, you can back away from all the notifications that you don't actually need. Hire Smart. Look for the people who impress you right away. This is what Ping learned; the three-month probation period shouldn't necessarily be that long. He knew within a week that his leasing manager was going to be amazing. Good talent will want to do more. They'll want to grow. Is it really this easy? Not always. Mistakes can be made. Ping's first hire had access to his credit card and that's how Ping lost $90,000 in one year. He almost gave up on the business entirely. The employee had a gambling issue that no one knew about. The lesson? You can't just trust people blindly. Trust the employees who have proven that they are trustworthy. With $90,000 gone, Ping wasn't sure he'd be able to meet his payroll obligations and it felt like he would lose the business. Instead, he shoveled some snow. He and his girlfriend, who is now his wife, shoveled snow at his properties during a particularly snowy winter and saved some money and made the necessary ends meet. What is the GWC Hiring Framework? Get. Want. Capacity. That's how Ping hires. The person gets the job. Does the person want the job? Is there enthusiasm? Initiative? Does the person have the capacity to do the work that's needed? People can always be trained when they have the initiative. When local companies were shutting down and Spotted Properties was taking on a lot of new business, Ping knew he had to hire strategically and he also knew he didn't know how to do that yet. That's how this framework was created. How Can Property Managers Approach Owners as a Coach or an Asset Adviser? We've established that the real estate advising and the coaching feeds the property management business. But how to begin this conversation with owners? Ping says his script was simple. It went something like: “Hey John, now that your property is fully stabilized, what’s the plan? What’s your plan for the next couple of years? What do you want to do with your real estate portfolio?” They start talking about their vision, their dream outcome, which is, usually that they'd like to get a few more properties so they don't have to work so hard. Or: “Now that we have Madison dealing with the tenant issue or a paralegal taking care of the eviction through the Tenant Board, how are you feeling?” They'll usually be feeling ready to grow once they've seen their problem resolved. And that's how the conversation opens up. Ping is willing to be honest in his conversations, and that includes talking about mistakes he's made and situations that didn't go as planned. Owners can use this transparency to avoid their own mistakes. And the vulnerability makes him easy to trust. People can relate to failures. You're likely wondering: is there a fee for the expertise that Ping and Andrew provide? For owners and investors who belong to the Property Hustlers community, there's a fee for one-on-one coaching. Plenty of free resources are available and Ping is happy to have owners learn from that information. And the property management business and education platform feed revenue to each other. We're going to have Ping come back and talk to us about how he continues to evolve. Specifically, with the help of AI. You don't want to miss that conversation, where we'll talk about how you leverage AI to make your property management operation leaner and more efficient, which will free you up to do more things like this.

This week we're joined by Ryan Julio and Shane Mason from Del Rey Wine Center to answer one of the biggest questions in wine: does proper storage really matter?We talk about what actually happens to a bottle as it ages, the biggest storage mistakes people make, and how heat, light, and temperature swings can quietly ruin a great wine. Along the way, Ryan explains why some inexpensive wines are worth buying by the case, why Riesling is one of the world's greatest aging wines, and how patience can completely transform what's in your glass.To put those ideas to the test, we finish the episode with a Keller Riesling from Germany, a wine that reminds us why some bottles really are worth the wait.If you've ever wondered whether you need a wine fridge, how long you should hold onto a bottle, or whether aging wine is only for collectors, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Check out the Del Rey Wine Center Website: https://www.usstoragecenters.com/storage-options/wine-storage/del-rey-wine-centerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/delreywinecenterSupport the show and help keep the wine flowing!Buy us a glass!https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3Connect with the show.

You already know the answer. You're just waiting for someone to say it out loud. If you've ever stared at a job you turned away, a backlog you can't beat, or a stack of repetitive work eating your week alive, this episode is the gut check you've been avoiding. Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters get real about the single most expensive decision growing shops keep putting off: when to stop doing things the manual way and start investing in automation. They break down the exact warning signs that you've outgrown your process, why "we'll just work harder" quietly kills your margins, and the mindset shift that separates the shops that scale from the ones that stall out catching up forever. Here's the truth nobody wants to hear: the moment you start asking "can I justify this?" you're already asking the wrong question. The shops that win ask something completely different, and once you hear it, you can't unhear it. This one hits whether you run a cabinet shop, a sign business, a fab shop, or you're the one-person operation wearing every hat and feeling the squeeze. Brandon and Nick have lived this on both sides of the table, and they're not selling you a fantasy. They're handing you the framework to decide for yourself and a challenge to fix ONE thing this week. Stop building someone else's business. Start building leverage into your own. If this episode calls you out, drop a comment and tell us the ONE thing you're going to fix this week — personally or professionally.

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 162: You May Be Making Decisions in the Dark — Jacques Santucci on Financially Preparing Your Business for the Future In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker sits down with Jacques Santucci, President of Opus Consulting, for a grounded, practical conversation about one of the most underutilized levers in family business: financial leadership. Jacques brings a rare combination of international business experience — from Ernst & Young in France to CFO roles in the US — and 17 years of consulting to privately held and family-owned businesses across New England and beyond. Together, Chris and Jacques break down the critical differences between a bookkeeper, controller, and CFO; why so many family businesses are making major decisions with months-old data; what the early warning signs of financial trouble actually look like before an owner recognizes them; and why the fractional CFO model has become one of the most accessible and high-impact resources available to growing family firms. They also explore what a meaningful financial education pathway looks like for the rising generation — not to make them accountants, but to ensure they can read a P&L, understand a balance sheet, talk to a banker, and make decisions grounded in fact rather than gut feeling.

Some relationships leave us questioning whether love is enough to stay. In this conversation, Jay sits down with Dr. Ramani to explore the painful reality of family estrangement and the growing number of people considering no contact with those closest to them. Together, they unpack the difference between self-protection and punishment, why guilt often accompanies healthy boundaries, and how years of unresolved hurt can lead someone to step away from a relationship they once fought hard to save. Rather than offering simple answers, this episode invites a deeper reflection on safety, repair, accountability, and healing. It challenges the belief that family ties should come at the expense of your well-being and reminds us that choosing yourself is rarely easy. Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, supporting someone who is, or trying to understand a loved one's decision, this conversation offers compassion, clarity, and the reassurance that healing doesn't always look the way we expect. In this episode you'll learn: How to Know When No Contact Is Necessary How to Stop Abandoning Yourself for Family How to Recognize When Repair Isn’t Working How to Handle Guilt After Going No Contact How to Protect Your Peace Around Toxic Relatives How to Navigate Family Pressure and Backlash How to Choose Self-Protection Over Self-Betrayal Not every relationship is meant to be kept at the cost of your peace. Sometimes healing means repairing a connection, and sometimes it means creating distance from what continues to hurt you.

Helping Seniors Navigate Life TransitionsIn this episode, we sit down with Kate Coulter, a senior lodging consultant and social worker with decades of experience helping families guide aging parents through the emotional and logistical process of downsizing and relocating. Whether you're an adult child supporting your parents, or a senior starting to consider next steps, this episode offers clear, compassionate advice for making the transition with dignity.Meet Kate Coulter & GerontoLogisKate shares how her background in community housing and social work led her to acquire GerontoLogis, a company specializing in senior transition services. With a team of trained professionals, they've supported thousands of families across the West Island and beyond—free of charge—by helping find the right senior living solutions.Spotlight on Villa BeaurepaireKate gives listeners an inside look at Villa Beaurepaire, a nonprofit seniors residence in Beaconsfield offering affordable and community-supported housing. With private apartments, underground parking, daily meals, and social activities, the residence provides autonomy with support. Half of the units are rent-geared-to-income, while the rest remain affordably priced for moderate-income seniors.When Is It Time to Talk to Aging Parents?Starting the conversation about downsizing or moving can be delicate. Kate explains that ideal timing involves the senior taking initiative—but in reality, adult children often need to observe gently and act with empathy. She walks through subtle ways to notice changes in behavior, self-care, or isolation, and emphasizes approaching these discussions with concern and respect rather than confrontation.Debunking the Myths About Senior ResidencesA major roadblock for many is the outdated belief that senior homes are only for the frail or elderly. Kate dismantles this misconception, explaining that many retirement communities are vibrant, amenity-rich spaces for active seniors. Think indoor pools, outings, games rooms, libraries—even golf simulators. Residents enjoy privacy, freedom, and social interaction, with optional support if needed.Understanding Categories of Care in QuebecQuebec categorizes senior housing based on autonomy, from independent (Categories 1–2) to assisted (Categories 3–4) and ultimately CHSLDs for high-level care. Most listeners will benefit from understanding the range of options available in Category 1 and 2 residences. Kate highlights how matching lifestyle preferences with budget and care needs is part of the process.Common Mistakes Families MakeOne of the biggest errors? Waiting too long to seek help. Kate warns that many families contact her only after they've reached a breaking point—emotionally, logistically, or financially. She encourages families to involve professionals early, especially if they're noticing burnout, declining home conditions, or rising care needs.Working Together: Lodging Consultants & Real Estate AgentsKate and Sean Broady discuss how her services and real estate support go hand in hand. While her team focuses on the emotional and medical aspects of the transition, the Broady Windsor Group often steps in when it's time to sell the family home. Acting early helps preserve equity and plan for the future, rather than reacting under pressure.Staying at Home: Alternatives to MovingNot every senior is ready—or willing—to move. Kate walks us through the options for staying at home, including retrofitting the home with lifts or elevators, bringing in home care services, or using technology like monitoring cameras for peace of mind. For many, it's about balancing safety, autonomy, and the caregiver's stress load.Building Trust Early with CompanionsFor seniors resistant to care, Kate suggests a subtle approach: hiring help...

Mike Stadelmayer, President/Owner of Church Growth Services, joins Thom. Churches do a good job of duct-taping their facilities, but when is it time to address the deteriorating facilities and stop the drip, drip, drip of constant building frustrations and spending too much time focused on little maintenance issues instead of evangelism, generosity campaigns can help you tackle these issues so you can fully focus on ministry.

If you want to know how to effectively manage and support the growth of your membership-based business, then this episode is for you! My guest today is Camille Brown who helps bakers become confident recipe developers so they can create drool-worthy desserts and create thriving businesses. Camille rolled out a membership program earlier this year and now she has questions about determining the next steps for this program. And she doesn't want to be the bottleneck slowing growth down. And at the same time, Camille isn't interested in hosting a program that lacks any personal connection. So, we tackled a list of Camille's questions to help her scale wisely. Now, scaling is a bit of a buzzword in the online coaching space. But I'm not sure everyone selling scalability understands what scaling actually means. If you look it up in the dictionary, you'll find that scaling is to grow without feeling hampered. Which means that bigger isn't always better. And every coach needs to design a scaled business model that aligns with their values, goals and work style. In this episode, we'll discuss how to: Tell when it's time to grow. Determine the best way to manage growth so you don't compromise the program. Set and meet expectations inside your community. Determine when it is time to hire and what tasks to delegate. Watch for the clues to reveal it is time to grow again. Key Points We Cover: Setting Boundaries for Sustainability Defining clear boundaries helps your clients understand what to expect and ensures that you can delivery easily on your program's promises.. Membership Growth and Scaling Camille and Dallas brainstormed a layered plan to handle the influx of new members, adding relevant content, fostering engagement, and ensuring each member's satisfaction.

Thank you Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza for providing a place for me to record this episode for y'all! No more Brooklyn closet recording!!! “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” - Philippians 4: 6 (NIV) If you are a regular listener, you know that I have struggled with anxiety a lot over the years. I even did a whole Mental Health May series this past year (which you can check out here). Well my anxiety has reared its head again this fall. I can sometimes resent how it takes me away from the moment at hand. My invitation to myself + to you is: What if I/you/we could learn to not resent the discomfort but lean in and trust that my body is resilient. Like Glennon Doyle says, “I can do hard things,” and I can feel uncomfortable things, pain, grief, nervousness, or anxiety and still feel safe and at home in my body. Lessons From My Therapist You may have heard this verse before: Philippians 4: 6 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” In the King James Version, it says “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Greek “careful”: to be distracted to the point of separation What my therapist explained to me was that anxiety separates you from yourself—because it removes me from the present and gets me to obsess about the future. Out of body. Besides yourself. The goal is to get back into yourself, back in your body. Like with the addict: the moment to focus on isn't necessarily the relapse, but the runway that led them there. The 10 steps before that you took that led you down a path towards anxiety. FOR ME: not eating, well, caffeine, alone time, time with Jesus, moving my body—my body is already on high alert b/c some family stuff going on—so things that normally wouldn't trigger me are activating anxiety—so I need to be extra kind and caring of myself. Be careful for nothing, BUT “But” is where the answer/help comes in. It's an invitation to try something else. Try these 4 things: Prayer: In anxiety we're separate from ourselves, God, and others. Prayer reconnects you with God and it INTERRUPTS your disconnection to self. Reminds me I'm not alone and it's not all up to me. This is an ACTIVE way to take your thoughts captive: 2 Cor. 10:15 The invitation of Jesus isn't to BUCK UP + GET OVER IT: it's to let go of the back breaking load: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30. The invitation of God isn't to DO more or less of anything. isn't to just NOT do something—whatever it is: anxiety, lie, gossip—no the invitation is to BE. “Be still + know that I AM God.” - Psalm 46:10 Supplication: Emergent prayer / emergency prayer. AA 12 steps (very familiar to Phil 4:6) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol— that our lives had become unmanageable. Don't do ‘x', BUT PRAY Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore our sanity + SUPPLICATE: GOD HELP ME Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him. Thanksgiving: GK: Thanking god for things in the past + things yet to come Fear focuses on the worst case scenario. Gratitude focuses on the reality that with God anything is possible. Gratitude reorients my heart from focusing on doom to possibility. Gratitude reminds me that God has shown up for me before + God will do it again. HABAKKUK 3:2 Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. In fear, in dread, in anxiety, in hopelessness, remember hope. Remember possibility. Remember what God did in the past and thank him for it THEN ASK HIM TO DO IT AGAIN. Requests: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Emphasis on requests: a polite demand for something due to you—like when you get a reminder to pay your credit card bill. Like they ask you nicely = remind you when it's due. But it's not really a request; it's a polite demand. You have to pay the bill. Dear God, HELP. Thank you for helping me in the past + I thank you in advance because I know you're going to help me again. That's who you are. Now please give me peace in my body. Then the verse that follows this 4-step formula is this: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” “Peace” here in the GREEK: to make one; whole, to be put back together. BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING. PRAY. ASK. THANK. POLITELY DEMAND. PEACE—then you'll go from separation back to connection—self, god + others. I don't know about you, but this feels like really beautiful news to me. When I'm in a moment of fear and disconnection: pause. Invite god into the moment. Ask for help. Thank for the past and future. Politely demand! PEACE. Peace is your portion. Peace is your legacy. Even right now, I speak peace over your body, mind, soul, spirit.

Vomiting in Dogs: Causes and Treatment WebMD Veterinary Reference from the ASPCA A dog may vomit simply because he’s eaten something disagreeable or gobbled down too much food, too fast. But vomiting can also indicate something far more serious-your dog may have swallowed a toxic substance, or may be suffering from a condition that requires immediate medical attention. Vomiting can also be associated with gastrointestinal and systemic disorders that should be evaluated by a veterinarian. What Might Cause a Sudden. or Acute, Episode of Vomiting? Bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract Diet-related causes (diet change, food intolerance, ingestion of garbage) Foreign bodies (i.e. toys, bones, pieces of chewies) in the gastrointestinal tract Intestinal parasites Acute kidney failure Acute liver failure or gall bladder inflammation Pancreatitis Post-operative nausea Ingestion of toxic substances Viral infections Certain medications or anesthetic agents Bloat Heatstroke Car sickness Infected uterus Vomiting that occurs sporadically or irregularly over a longer period of time can be due to stomach or intestinal inflammation, severe constipation, cancer, kidney dysfunction, liver disease or systemic illness. What Should I Do If My Dog Vomits Frequently? An occasional, isolated bout of vomiting may not be of concern. However, frequent or chronic vomiting can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as colitis, intestinal obstruction or parvovirus. If your dog’s vomiting is not an isolated incident, please bring him to the vet right away for a complete examination and diagnostic testing. What Other Symptoms Should I Watch For? The causes of vomiting are so varied that sometimes obtaining a diagnosis can be difficult, so it’s important to give your veterinarian as much information as possible and indicate if other signs are also occurring. What to watch for: Frequency of vomiting. If your dog vomits once and proceeds to eat regularly and have a normal bowel movement, the vomiting was most likely an isolated incident. Diarrhea Dehydration Lethargy Blood in vomit Weight loss Change in appetite Increase or decrease in thirst or urination When Is It Time to See the Vet? Please see your vet if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, if your dog vomits more than once during the course of a day, or if vomiting persists past one day
