Best Answer

Do not give any human drugs, medicines, vitamins, etc., to a dog without the express instruction of a veterinarian.

Antacids suppress the formation of acid in the stomach, which can predispose the dog to stomach and intestinal infections. Also, dogs rarely have problems with over-production of acids, so this will rarely have any benefit for the dog. Finally, antacids available to humans are dosed out for human needs - the doses for dogs are often very different.
