New puppy vomited after eating. What should I do about feeding?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 20 lbs

I recently got a new puppy and he’s adjusting to my new house. I think he ate too much because he’s thrown up his food twice. Should I be worried? He doesn’t act weird after vomiting. I haven’t fed him at all yet either because I’m afraid I’ll make his discomfort worse. Any suggestions on what to do?

It is not uncommon for puppies to eat more than they should, and they typically vomit as a result of that. If Diesel is bright and active as normal you just need to monitor him at home. You need to offer him smaller portions of food every few hours. Please, follow the feeding instructions on the package regarding the amount food he should be getting. It is very easy to overfeed a puppy if you don't stick to the recommendations.
