I have 2 german shepard,bull dog puppies that are very actice.Gaining weight and growing in height with no problems.They have been throwing up several times a day for 2 weeks.They have been on puppy chow since I first got them at age 5 weeks and they are now 10 weeks old.Since the throwing up has no affect on their growth could it just be worms or am I looking at something more serious and should take them to the vet?

That sounds like worms. They need to go to the vet to see what species of worm(s) are present. Treatments are now specific.

I once had a puppy that seemed fine other than after about a month or so he started throwing up all the time and I had no idea why - he seemed to be growing ok etc - well I lived with 8 other people in a share accomodation house and one day they told me how they were getting my pup stoned all the time on marijuana - they apprently sucked in the smoke from the bong then cupped their hands over his mouth and blew the smoke into his mouth and nose - I was furious I had no idea this was going on - they told me because they thought it was funny (they wernt laughing when I moved out and then called the cops!) I dont know you or your situation but be sure nobody is smoking dope around your dogs this could be the cause... if its not possible and your sure this isnt happening Id take them to the vets just to be sure.

Check the food that you are feeding them. If they are on a ceral based food this may be a contributing factor to the vomiting, food high in cereals such as wheat, corn, and animal derviatives aren't good for dogs especially puppies. Get them on a meat based food, such as Nutro choice, very good!!!! mine love it.
If they are vomiting frequently then try and keep their fluids up, vets would probably be the safest option though.
Better to be safe than sorry!!!! Also 5 weeks is very early to be taken away from their mother and siblings, they shouldn't really leave their mother untill 8 weeks preferably

It's not worms...worms don't make puppies toss they're viddles but it sounds like something that a vet should take a look at. it could be anything from a type of weed in the yard to parvo and a whole lot in between, profuse vomit ting is NOT good for your pup and could cause serious complications from dehydration to death. sorry this sounds so bad.

Get them to the vet. If nothing else call the vet and perhaps they can diagnose over the phone.

Get them to your vet as soon as possible!!
It could be a number of different things!
It's better to play it safe when it comes to your precious pups!
Good Luck!!
