My dog won't eat new food, threw up white foam. Is it urgent?

Question

Got the wrong flavor of dog food and he refuses to eat it. I'll have his usual in 8hrs. He's peed/pooped normally and is his usual happy self. Threw up maybe 2tbsp of white foam earlier but nothing since. Do i wait and watch or is it urgent? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 18 lbs

I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
