He has done this at least once every other day for the past 3 months. We have carpeted floors and I am constantly cleaning after his burps. Any advice how to either control his consumption further or wisdom as to what is? [He eats Canadae, but has done this with his puppy food also.]
If he is doing this as frequently as you describe, a visit to the veterinarian might be in order to check his esophogus. Megaesophogus comes to mind, although not as common in rottweilers as in some other breeds, it can happen. It would be good to rule this out.
