Why is my puppy throwing up? Could adult dog food or treats be why?

Question

My puppy threw up what looked to be like the food he ate possibly treats I bought him. Is it bad for puppies to eat adult dog food? Cause he keeps taking my adult dogs food. And if I give him different types of treats could that upset his stomach? And could be the reason he threw up? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 26 days old | 2.5 lbs

The reason for the vomiting episodes are very likely to be related to dietary indiscretion. I would recommend to use always the same kind of treats (you could give vegetables like carrots) and avoid as much as possible any adult dog or cat food as quite rich and not so easy to digest. In case of vomiting episodes, 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.
