My dog swiped a piece of cheese with cocktail stick still attached last night, he has vomited this morning and the stick came up intact, there were some streaks of blood in the vomit, should I visit the vet?

Yes, it would be better to have Filos checked over. He could have some medications to help the stomach upset. In the meantime, you could get a bland diet ready, something like plain white meat and rice.
