Default Throwing up Hairballs

My six year old Yorkie, who has long hair has been throwing up hairballs.
This has happened about once a week, but I did not know it was hair until last night. It was very obvious. I called my vet when this first started, and he said sometimes they eat grass and vomit, due to a sensitive stomach. She never
did this before until just the last month or so.

I am on my way to get some Laxatone at the vet's so that will help coat her stomach, and make the passing of hair easier. I brush her alot, but will do it more often now that I know what is happening.

I thought only cats had this problem. Does your Yorkie vomit hairballs?

Thanks.
