My dog started peeing blood and throwing up, should I be freaking out?

This morning, I noticed my dog urinating with some blood in it and then later, he started vomiting. I'm really worried because it seems like something serious might be going on. Is this an emergency situation that needs immediate attention, or could it possibly be something less alarming?
