Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This is likely a dietary indiscretion but could be due to another cause. There are many causes of vomiting but if Prince is otherwise normal and has normal energy, I would recommend switching to a different food such as Science Diet or Royal Canin and see if the vomiting resolves. If the vomiting does not resolve or it worsens, then I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Prince so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
