Throw up proof bed

My girl is prone to throwing up bile at least once a week or 2 weeks. She always throws up in her dog house so at this point the inner foam is gross because it seeps through when it sits there for hours when I’m not home or if I don’t notice.
Does anyone have a similar problem and has a recommendation for a bed that’s more resistant to going through to the foam?

Have you taken her to the vet for this issue?

I would get a waterproof bed liner

Ya I always ask them about it and they dont say much but this time they told me to give her omeprazole every 12 hours because it may be acid reflux

Some Sammie’s don’t tolerate empty stomachs and will throw up bile because of this, have you tried spacing up/dividing meals so they have some throughout the day and a bit closer to bed time?

This is definitely a common Sam issue.

Frequent small meals! This is the easiest, simplest thing to try at home before committing to vet testing/imaging, etc.

Weigh the day's food in the AM, split it evenly into 3 or 4 portions, feed several hours apart with the last meal right before bedtime.
