I have canine Nupro original to add to my raw turkey mush.it comes in
powder form and I haven't had it refused yet. I free hand it, but i
'think' the dosage is on the tub.
basically dessicated liver and some other ingredients.
this vomiting IMO sounds like a severe allergic reaction to perhaps
the grains, meat products,and/or other additives in many kibbles.
Maybe you could look into having him tested at your vet to narrow this
down.
