My dog vomits bile after eating human food. What should I do?

Question

Mu dog Tofu (2.5yrs) is a Shihtzu that was supposed to be roughly 12lbs full grown, yet he is 20lbs. He vomits bile more often than I would assume is normal. I believe this is related to the high fat human foods my dad feeds him (some of my dad's dinner + chicken or seasoned turkey). Tofu's diet is probably 40% dog food and 60% treats and human food. He vomited in the morning and in the evening and cried from discomfort afterwards. He seems fine now but I am worried. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 20 lbs

You really need to stop feeding him human foods. Often our foods are too high in fat and they can cause pancreatitis in dogs which is very serious. Dogs should only eat dog food. If you cut out all human foods for 5-7 days and he continues vomiting then he needs to see your veterinarian for an exam.
