We have had Georgie for about a month now (he’s six months old.). Two nights ago he woke up around 4am and puked up what looks like partially digested mulch or something and then he dry heaved again around 6am.

He was fine/happy all day yesterday…but he puked up bile 2 hours ago - same time as yesterday. Given that we are new dog people, my wife is freaking out and and wants to go go the vet but he seems fine…

It's been 24 hours, so I'm not sure if you need advice anymore at this point, but fwiw, mulch can definitely cause obstructions, and the type of puppy that eats mulch probably eats other stuff he shouldn't, so again, obstructions should be a concern on some level. That being said, vomiting in the absence of other symptoms isn't necessarily an emergency situation. If he's eating and generally holding his food down, acting normal, and passing normal stools, there's no harm (usually) in just monitoring him at home. If any of those signs change, I'd bring him in.

He’s ok now - I caught him eating a plastic toy he had hidden under his bed (lol) and then he pooped out some green plastic pieces
