Is ground limestone poisonous to a dog?
Well, limestone is basic, meaning the opposite of acidic. Materials similar to limestone can actually be found in antacids like Tums. So in small amounts limestone is not poisonous to a dog or anyone for that matter, it will just temporarily lower the acid content of the stomach. However, limestone should not be fed to a dog or encouraged because it still is not good for a dog to be eating or digesting straight limestone in any quantity.
