My puppy threw up and has mucus in poop. Is it the food?

Question

My dog threw up his Purina puppy chow which he has been eating his whole life. It was undigested the first time(I could see the actual kibble) and just again which it wasn't distinguishable just like a brown orangey color. He also pooped. It wasn't diahreea, but had a normal stool shape but also was covered in mucous? Liquid? I'm really starting to think it's the food. Because when I was just given him rice and chicken to soothe his stomach he was fine. Any suggestions? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 17 days old | 70 lbs

Yes this could be definitively due to diet. As a first approach, 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 lethargy or inappetence.
