MY cat keeps throwing up

These are not hairballs. We took her to the doc before for this , and he said she was probably eating too fast. Everything else looked ok.
She hasn't done this for a while up until yesterday.
She threw up all of her food. I could tell that she didn't chew ANY of it. She must have just inhaled it! The vet says to divide her food into 4 feedings so she won't eat so fast. She still threw up twice today.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Another problem is that my dog keeps eating itChat Icon
I am not always there when the cat throws up, but I notice the spot on the carpet or floor that the dog has licked up.
I know my dog ate it because I've caught him doing it before.
That's just gross! I clean it right up when I know she did it, but I don't know what to do about the other times.

I could have written this! I have the same problem, including the dog helping me clean it up when I don't get there first.

My vet said it could be a hairball blockage or she could just be a fat girl and inhaling her food. He gave me some hairball goop to give her which seemed to help(same stuff you can get at any pet store). I think the problem is that she is a fat *** and doesn't stop to chew. I did switch her to Iams hairball formula, and the throwing up is rare now.

Good Luck.
