My dog ate an aluminum tray. He vomited, but seems fine. Vet tomorrow?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 3 months old | 75 lbs

We have a 4yo greyhound x kelpie x whippet boy. We worked it out about midday yesterday he must have got into some rubbish as this morning he vomited up pieces of an aluminium tray. We gave him 2 paces of bread and some pumpkin. Approx an hour later he vomited up a little more tray pieces. He has since done a solid stool (no tray but pumpkin) and had 3 more pieces of bread and more pumpkin with no vomiting. He is his normal self too. Is it ok to see the vet tomorrow?

Yes, if he is otherwise normal then he can likely wait until tomorrow to see the vet but really, that is your call. I cannot make that call for you. You know your dog best. If you think he needs to see a vet sooner there is no harm in taking him now. I suggest fasting him until he sees the vet so don't feed him anything else but water is OK.
