, 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.
Note: If your dog tends to get an upset stomach when on his normal food, consider asking your vet to switch foods. At times, a special diet for sensitive stomachs may be recommended such as Hill's I/D or a homemade diet.
