We adopted a nearly 4 month puppy. We were given a sample of dog food they were giving him, but didn't say the brand. We got some puppy food for him and transitioned, but I think it was too fast and he's throwing up. He's acting pretty normal and chewing on bones and drinking water. What should we do?

Poor Reptar! You are correct it may be the change of food causing his vomiting. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
