What’s wrong with puppy hiccups? Puppy hiccups can be a result of eating too fast and swallowing air with the food, causing hiccups to emit gas. It is also possible that the food your dog eats is more irritating and affects your dog’s esophagus, causing hiccup muscle spasms, but they don’t last long and stop after a while. Puppies can also get hiccups when they are under too much stress, mainly when they move to a new home or have a new puppy in the house. Owners can reassure their dogs and make them feel safe. Don’t change the dog’s living environment at will, so that the dog receives less stimulation.
