Expert Answer

Puppies eating unsoftened kibble easily get indigestion, since their guts are immature; it burdens the stomach and causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and bloating.

Give probiotics; if vomiting, fast half a day and see a vet if frequent. Soak kibble only in 40-50 C water, never boiling, to avoid nutrient loss.
