Hiccups are typical for people, yet shouldn’t something be said about for canines? Rest assured, hiccups are typical for canines, as well.

## What Causes Hiccups In Dogs

Fetal hiccups have been reported in numerous mammalian species. It may be the case that hiccuping in the belly is a [method](https://howtodiscuss.com/t/method/9301) of test-driving the breathing muscles.

This [hypothesis](https://howtodiscuss.com/t/hypothesis/11374) may clarify why hiccups are considerably more typical in doggies than in grown-up canines. As your little dog gets more established, he will likely hiccup less as often as possible, or not in any way.
