That depends on how frequently Tater is vomiting. Pets can vomit for many reasons. It could range from acid building up on the stomach overnight to the beginnings of a kidney disease. Dogs can vomit every once in a while. If you are noticing however that he is vomiting on a consistent basis then I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps.
