Your dogs have heat exhaustion, and, by now, are extremely dehydrated. One of the tricks I learned was teaching them to eat ice cubes. Another is to hose them down with cool (not cold) water 2-3 times a day, but DO NOT dry them off. Let them run around the house dripping wet. They will show more energy and "spunk" when they are cooled down.
Take them to the vet to get some subcutaneous fluid in them to aid the dehydration issue, then take steps to help your dogs to "beat the heat."

How long has this been going on? You need to take the dogs to the vet, those are symptoms of a serious illness, maybe poisoning. This is an emergency, go now!!

I would contact my vet. It gets in the high 90's here and very humid but I don't have this issue with my dogs and they spend alot of time outside.

I'm not sure it has to do with the heat if they're inside with air conditioning. Are there other factors that could be affecting them? What are you feeding them? Have they been exposed to anything new?

If they are throwing up every day they could be dehydrated by now. Go to the Vet.
