Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. As long as he is acting normally - good energy level, still good appetite - the one episode of vomiting is not overly concerning. You did a good thing by slowly changing the diet. I'm not sure if the "pedigree puppy veg" food is a vegetarian food, but if it is, I would absolutely not feed Goofy a vegetarian diet! These can be extremely dangerous to dogs, and are linked to heart disease, specifically dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) especially in labradors, golden retrievers and dobermans. Please make sure the diet is not vegetarian or grain free. Whatever diet you choose should be formulated for puppies, or "growth", should contain grains, and should say on the side of the bag how much kibble you should be feeding based on Goofy's weight. If the diet you have is not vegetarian, that's great! And he should likely be fed 1.5 to 2.5 cups total per day. I hope this is helpful!
