| Maybe it's time to look for a different food to switch to. Kibbles and Bits isn't exactly a high quality food and there may be something in it that doesn't agree with your dog. Its not normal for a dog to throw up after every meal. I took in a yorke rescue last year that came with a big old bag of Pedigree. That's all he'd ever eaten. He also threw up after almost every meal. He's a big yorkie but was scrawny and underweight for his size and bone structure. We went through several different food trials and eventually he was diagnosed with IBD. He now eats Primal frozen raw lamb patties and nothing else. Even a bite of something else will upset his tummy. He has also gained three pounds, so now he's a huge yorkie but a good weight for his size. Diana |

| Very poor quality food. He is throwing it up because he can't digest it. It would make him sick if he did anyway. Try Natural Balance Ultra Small breed. Fine for a puppy, fine for an adult. |

| Kibbles N Bits is not a good food. It's probably one of the worst ones on the market. Look for something that doesn't say any kind of "by products" and when listing the protein, make sure it says "chicken", "beef", "duck", etc instead of general terms like "meat" or "poultry".

| You probably need to bring your Yorkie to a vet to get a blood work to rule things out. My Yorkie throws up here and there when he was younger and I kept thinking it is the food, this and that but he was fed good kibbles. It turned out that he has pancreatitis symptoms all along. To be on the safe side, you should really get those symptoms checked out.
