My dog stopped vomiting. How do I reintroduce food and normal diet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 9 years and 8 months old | 6 lbs

This is an update to my previous ask; Rose has now since been able to keep water and food down without vommiting. I have reintroduced both things in small intervals to ensure she doesn't intake too fast. I was wondering if there is any advice on how I should go about this, and how long, before allowing her usual food routine to return to normal. As well, I'm pretty sure the cause of this was the introduction of a new treat she hasn't had before. I think it was just a bad batch of treats.

Poor Rose. I'm glad she can keep food and water down now. I'd start by offering her small amounts of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice a couple of times a day for several days. Then start adding back in her normal diet.
