, Standard poodle owner. Tums is a brand of antacid that is used to treat symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux and ulcers in humans. However, it is safe to give to dogs if they are experiencing symptoms of an upset stomach. Antacids work by increasing the pH of the digestive tract to a more basic level.
Itâs easy to just give a dog an over-the-counter medicine like Tums, something that is likely available in your home. However, most of the time you should opt not to. In severe cases, or especially ongoing acid reflux and/or stomachaches, you need to get a professional opinion on what is actually wrong.
