The answer to whether a dog can eat tums or not is a maybe. Some vets do recommend Tums for dogs to get rid of hyperacidity and digestive issues like gas or bloating. However, you must always consult your vet before feeding tums to your dog.

 If your vet allows, you may give around 2 g of Tums to a medium-sized dog. For smaller dogs, give no more than 1.25 g per day.

Please note that some brands of Tums contain xylitol. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is safe for humans but, in dogs, it is known to result in poisoning.

Xylitol toxicity signs in dogs include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and lethargy. If your dog shows these signs, please call your vet right away.

In most cases, if your dog has hyperacidity or digestive issues, you may want to fast your dog for a few hours. Feed bland food like rice and chicken and the symptoms should clear away soon.

To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping your pup healthy.
