Vomiting with bloody diarrhea is a situation which requires veterinary attention. You don't mention the age of your dog but parvovirus would be a possibility in a younger dog. Other possible causes would include severe GI parasitism, gastroenteritis, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, ingestion of a foreign object, and inflammatory bowel disease. With a combination of vomiting and blood diarrhea your dog can become dehydrated quickly, so a vet visit is recommended ASAP. They may test your dog's stool sample and take an x-ray to help determine the cause of his symptoms.
