The pH of the small intestine is approxmiatly 8.
The "H" stands for hydrogen, just like the "OH" in pOH refers to the ion hydroxide. The first letter of all atomic symbols is capitalized. Perhaps an obvious follow-up question might be, "Why is there a small p in pH?". I would suspect this is so that people did not think the P stood for phosphorus.

p = -log H= concentration of hydrogen in solution (H+) therefore, pH= -log [H+] or [H+] = 10-pH
pH is the scientific abbreviation for power of Hydrogen.p=power H=hydrogen. The "p" in pH comes from the notation of the probability of finding a Mole of H+ ions in a given amount of solution which is written as P(H+)=Moles of H+ per litre. Unfortunately the Probability expressed in numbers is not the ideal way to describe and compare things. The best way to do this is to have a scale and have everything fit between its extreemes. Thus the pH scale was devised where the negative log of the concentration of H+ ions gives a scale from 0 to 14. This does not mean that the definition of "p" in "pH" changed but it only says that the old name (probability of H+) is now being used to refer to the the "pH scale".
The pH of the small intestine is roughly pH 8. It is slightly alkaline, as this is the alkalinity which best suits digestive enzymes.

p is very pobably from power and H is Hydrogen
6.2 - 6.5 is normal PH level for dogs,
