My 9-year-old Havapoo vomits after dinner. Is her diet the problem?

Question

9 year old female Havapoo vomiting after she eats her dinner. Diet is mainly a rice, vegetable, pork mixture which is cooked. Also added to this mixture is coconut oil and ground flax seed. She eats this in the evening. Kibble during the day. Kibble is Purina Dental kibble. Vet recommended this for care of teeth. This kibble is much fattier than other kibble previously given her (Wellness Holistic). Fat making her vomit? No injury and did not get into anything known. Drinking, pooping/peeing ok. Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | spayed | 8 years and 9 months old | 14 lbs

Based on the information above if she is vomiting after dinner and she is eating rice and pork for dinner I would think the homemade diet is making her vomit. Dogs can have food sensitivity that causes vomiting. I would recommend trying to feed her the Purina dental kibble for both meals and see if it fixes the problem. If not I would recommend taking her to the vet for some basic blood work. In an 8 year old dog who is vomiting I would want to make sure the kidneys and liver are functioning normally. If the blood work is normal I would try to feed her a commercial dog food that is better rounded in vitamins and nutrients/. It is very difficult to make a dog food that has everything our pets need
