I have not been able to tie the event to any particular cause. He has had all his shots, I give him Interceptor every month, he's been neutered, and has a very healthy appetite.
Capn' Jack is one year old and eats Pedigree for puppies, with occasional snacks, ie. carrots, chicken, etc... He normally poops twice a day, which I suppose is normal(?). It always looks like a normal poop.
I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your help.

Welcome to you and Jack!
I'm gonna say it's his food. Pedigree is not a good food and it could be a build up of the bi products in his system until he finally has to get it out- by puking. I highly recommend you change foods- but slowly. If you are looking for a new food to try there are many great kinds- Orijen, Wellness and Natural Balance just being a few.
Otherwise- you dont' think his stomach is empty right? Layla will do something similar and throw up a yellow foam if her tummy is empty- I can usually tell when this is going to happen ebcause her stomach makes A LOT of noise- and then i'll give her some pro biotic yogurt which really settles it down and stops the throwing up. However, I honestly think it could be the food. Maybe someone else will come on with other suggestions.
