Your dog is experiencing vomiting after transitioning to a new dog food brand, even though you've followed the slow transition method. It's possible that an ingredient in the new food is causing this adverse reaction.
- Monitor for signs of intolerance or allergy
- Consider reverting to the previous diet
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist
It's not uncommon for dogs to have sensitivities to certain ingredients, which might be causing your dog's upset stomach. Since you've noticed consistent vomiting, it would be wise to revert to her old diet, which previously agreed with her. If the vomiting continues or if you observe any other worrying symptoms, consulting a veterinarian is key to ruling out any allergies or digestive issues.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
