I have a 2 year old yorkie rescue that had been fed Pedigree for most of his life prior to coming to us a few months ago. I have been on a quest to get him on a better quality food and it has been a struggle because he vomited everything we tried. Finally our vet suggested we try a "step up" food. Something better than Pedigree but not necessarily a high quality food, get him acclimated to that, and then try a higher quality food. It has been a hassle because we also have a toy poodle that is allergic to chicken/poultry and corn, and we need to leave kibble out at all times for her because she's very tiny and a nibbler. We switched to Blue Basics (limited ingredient) Lamb and Potato for small breeds. So far, so good. He has been eating it for over two weeks and no vomiting. Our poodle has an iron stomach to go along with her allergies, so she is doing okay on it too. It is not a high quality food, and Dog Food Advisor only gives it three stars. It is also expensive for what you're getting, and there are other limited ingredient foods out there that are higher quality for the price. But it must taste good because our two are chowing it down. I'm going to go with it for another month or so, then try to switch to Natural Balance.
