Don't worry about seeing whole kibbles when your pup throws up. Although you will see and hear your pup chewing kibble, she won't chew it into tiny pieces like humans do with food (dog teeth are not equipped for this kind of chewing action and this is part of the argument to feed them their natural diet of raw food -- their teeth are made for tearing meat off of bone).
I feed my boys kibble and see plenty of whole kibbles when they throw up.
I would find another food other than Kibbles & Bits. Food is a hot topic of discussion, but not everyone can afford to buy the most expensive dog food on the market. If I were to buy at the grocery store, I would buy a Purina product. Costco has Kirkland's. If you go to the pet stores, stay from Nutro. You could start a thread in the health section asking for recommendations for low cost, good foods.
Be careful with treats too. I have given up on store-bought dog treats because there have been so many recalls and most of the treats are just garbage. I give my guys plain, non fat Greek yogurt -- barely half a teaspoon a day. You can dehydrate plain chicken breast. Just be careful that the treats do not exceed 10% of your pup's diet or you risk throwing the nutrient balance out of kilt. Too much protein without corresponding calcium can make your dog sick.
If you switch foods, try to do it slowly mixing a little new in with the old in increasing amounts. Your pup may pick out the new food and make this difficult, but as long as she is doing okay, don't worry.
Best wishes to Xena and I hope your pup is doing better today.
