My pug, Petey, ate a sponge. Is that a concern that needs an emergency vet visit? Petey is 16 months old, weighs about 20 lbs, and has thrown up bile this morning with pale gums. The sponge was a blue kitchen sponge with scrubbie stuff on one side and had cleaning residue.

My 13-year-old Westie, Bentley, has constant diarrhea despite being on a lamb and rice diet for his allergies. He vomited this morning for the first time since the diet change.

What should be done to address his diarrhea and vomiting?

Is there a relationship between grain-free dog foods and heart disease? Additionally, I am looking for a grain-friendly diet for my dog, Honey, who is around 7-8 years old, for weight loss and sensitive skin. Honey weighs 69 pounds and has been losing weight. She frequently licks her paws, and treatments like Apoquel and cytopoint have not been effective. What is your opinion on grain-free diets and any recommendations for Honey's diet?
