, 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.
Giving the aspirin with food and using buffered aspirin is the best to prevent stomach problems. I prefer to grind up the aspirin and put it in some food to make sure it does not irritate the stomach lining. No Tylenol. You should not give your dog such products as Tylenol as a substitute for real aspirin.
