My little black lab puppy is about 13 weeks old and he gets the hiccups at least once a day. Is this normal? Is there something i'm not doing, or something I'm doing wrong. Has you dog ever got the hiccups? Did it happen once or more times a day? Should I be concerned? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Puppies quite commonly get hiccups. It is because they ingest too much air when eating and drinking. Usually the pup outgrows them by the time he is 6 months.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll get used to them.
