Why does my dog vomit and refuse new food during kibble transition?

Question

So I’ve been trying to switch my dog to a new kibble brand (Kirkland dog food) and she has been puking up clear vomit at night. I’ve only been mixing 1/4-1/3 cup into her morning meals with the old kibble. What can I do to make this transition easier? Today she absolutely refused eating the new food that was mixed in.

She has probably developed an aversion to the new food making her vomit and now she doesn't want it. I think you are better off using a different food. This one does not agree with her for some reason. The only suggestion I would have is to put a gravy (food topper) or some canned dog food mixed with it to see if that will help. I'm pretty sure Kirkland has canned food as well as dry. ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/wholehearted-lamb-recipe-in-gravy-dog-meal-topper )
