Is it normal for a puppy (5 months) to hiccup everyday? I don't know why.. But everyday I have noticed after she wakes up.. (mostly).. She starts hiccuping after a few minutes.
Any ideas why?
And how can I try to get her to stop?

Puppies quite commonly get hiccups. When puppies eat and drink, they tend to ingest large quantities of air. Air, as it enters the esophagus and stomach, tends to trigger the hiccupping response. I have never seen an instance where hiccups was the result of any disease or disorder. Consider hiccupping normal and common in dogs, and especially in puppies less than eight months of age.
There is really nothing you can do for a puppy with hiccups, other than have him rest quietly until the hiccups are gone. If you find certain circumstances such as extreme excitement seem to trigger the hiccups, you can try to avoid those types of situations.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU1YQ
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Oh, I wouldn't worry, that is normal. Maybe it's just how she is sleeping , drinking and eating. I've always heard that you were growing when you were hiccuping so you might have a big puppy on your hands. lol

No. Don't worry about it. My GSD pup usually starts hiccuping after chewing on a hard treat. it's normal. Just like hiccups are normal for you and me.

My chihuahua shitsu mix (chi-tsu) is 5 months old and does the same thing upon waking . I feel like she is just so excited to see me she takes in extra air. What I do is wake her up slowly and calmly allowing her to stretch and yawn for a few minutes. This seems to work. (Set the alarm earlier than her normal wake up time in the morning). After naps doesn t seem to be a problem for her only over night sleep. She is still growing so we will see if they continue throughout her life or just while she is growing. Love my girl Precious.
