Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Samson is having tummy upset. Vomiting in puppies can be due to a variety of reasons, including dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, food intolerance, or stress, among others. In puppies, dehydration and a low blood sugar are much more concerning, as they can happen much faster than in an adult dog. If he continues vomiting, starts acting lethargic or otherwise looks like he feels ill, I would recommend he be evaluated by his regular veterinarian right away to determine what may be going on, and any treatment he may need. Good luck!
