My puppy ate a pee pad and vomited. Is it safe to feed him now?

Aloha! My 4month old puppy ate some pieces of his pee pad. I gave him Hydrogen Peroxide since it’s late and I live in a remote area. He threw up in about 3minutes, I did see some blue pieces and hopefully it was all of it. He threw up 2 more additional times. He seems to be doing alright. My question is if I can feed him since he didn’t have his dinner because all of this happened at the time he was supposed to eat.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can feed Iggy about 2hrs after the last vomit. Also, please monitor him at home for the next 2-3 days for signs of lethargy, abdominal pain, lack of stools, vomiting as these symptoms are common in gastrointestinal obstruction. If you notice any of the signs, you should take Iggy to your local vets right away.
