My dog won't eat his kibble after vomiting. Is he afraid of it?

Question

My dog was sick and vomiting a lot and we went to the vet to get him treated. He's acting pretty normal now, but seems afraid to eat his regular kibble. He eats it fine when I soften it with warm water, or give him chicken and rice, but he will not eat it as he usually does which is a bit worrying since he never had an issue before. Is there any chance he could feel scared to eat his kibble now that he's been sick from it? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 97 lbs

Hello, sorry to hear about Cooper. Theres a chance he is sore from his vomiting and/or he got used to eating a soft diet that this is what he prefers currently. I would give him a week or so to allow everything to settle and see if he return to his normal behavior. It would be rare that a dog would make a connection between its food and vomiting. I think Cooper will return to his normal self in a few days. Hope this helps and best of luck.
