My female Akita does this for her puppy at least once a day. I noticed the puppy ate the regurgitated food right after she had just finished eating from her food dish. Is it healthy for them to eat it or should I not give my female Akita the opportunity to do this? Thanks in advance.
Totally normal. That is what momma dogs do...one of my mommy dogs saw 2 of her puppies when they were 6 weeks old, and she promptly threw up her breakfast and stood back for them to eat it...
Dogs digest their food rather quickly, so if you separate them for 2-3 hours after each feeding, the mom should digest enough of it so that she gets her nutrition.
