It won't hurt a dog if that is what you are asking. When I was pregant I ate tums constantly. My dog wanted them like treats, would bark incessently for them. I finally called the Vet, and after much laughter, they said it would not hurt him at all.

You could, however, if your dog is having stomach problems, you should have it checked by the vet. It's not likely that they dog is having acid reflux problems, which is what Tums are commonly used for.

You don't want to give any animal medicine unless your vet prescribes it. Take your dog off tums, dogs usually eat grass to settle their stomach.

I don't know about Tums, but my vet told me to give my dog (a dachshund) Pepto for his upset stomach (don't recall the dose, sorry). You should call your vet or a 24 hr. animal hospital and ask the doctor to be safe.

If my "baby" has an upset stomach, I usually just cook her some rice instead of her usual food. That's what my vet told me to do. I'm always nervous about giving people meds, ALWAYS check with your vet first.
