My dog throws up bile after new food. Is it the food or boredom?

Question

My dog has thrown up bile for quite a few days. Normally this would be more concerning but he is still acting like himself and even his poop is solid. We switched to a different dog food because he is extremely picky and gets bored easily but seemed to eat a good amount then wasnt really interested anymore. Im wondering if its the brand or if hes just bored and wont eat it, which causes him to vomit. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 11 months old | 63 lbs

Suddenly switching foods can cause digestive upset which can lead to vomiting. Not eating often enough can also lead to vomiting for the opposite reason -- not enough food in the stomach can cause a buildup of bile and acid which leads to digestive upset and vomiting. If you switched Finn's food too quickly, returning to his old food and gradually switching over a period of 7-9 days can help ease the transition. If he's not eating enough, offering several smaller meals throughout the day can help keep him eating (without it being too large of an amount at once) without his stomach emptying completely. If he continues to vomit even with the above adjustments, or other signs and symptoms appear, a full workup at your vet is best.
