Since he has vomited multiple times today and is a young puppy I would recommend to see your vet. My biggest concern would be an obstruction from eating something that he shouldn't have. It could be from a parasite or from the food change as well. Your vet will be able to do a fecal and X-rays if needed to ensure he doesn't have any parasites or an obstruction. You can try to take him off food for 12 hours and reintroduce plain boiled chicken and rice (no bones) to see if this settles his stomach, but if he is continuing to vomit, becomes lethargic or refusing to eat, then I urge you to see your vet. I hope this helps.
