Poor Kia! Yes, it could be the food is bad, or the dogs may have gotten into something causing them all to be sick or could have a GI illness. If she can't keep down water which can quickly lead to dehydration, if she is lethargic, she is vomiting multiple times in a short period of time, and/or is also having diarrhea, then yes take her into an ER vet now. Should she be able to keep down water, isn't lethargic, isn't vomiting multiple times in a row, and doesn't have diarrhea, it's fine to wait until the morning. Best of luck with her, I hope she feels better soon!

Poor Prints! I do get concerned when a dog can't keep down water, and in my opinion, that does warrant a visit to the ER vet. Not being able to keep down water when a dog is already sick and off food can quickly lead to dehydration. I do think taking Prints into the vet is best. She will likely need a shot to stop the vomiting, may need IV fluids, and any other treatment the vet deems necessary depending on the case of her vomiting (i.e. GI illness, pancreatitis, a foreign body, or eating something rotten).
