are tums bad for dogs?

Gracie just ate a few tums. will she get sick? or is she ok?

I would think she is probably not going to react too badly. But, I'd still call the vet, just to make sure. I wouldn't worry too much, though. Finn's eaten a lot worse. And, the most he's ever done is throw up or have diarrhea. Which isn't fun, of course, but, nothing too serious. Hope she's ok, though!

I've heard of people giving their dogs tums, not recommended though, how many is a few. 3, 4. They are mostly calcium. My old girl gets Pepcid AC when we have a bad tummy. I hope she doesn't get sick, to be on the safe side call the vet, they should be able to tell you over the phone.

My old dog got a Tums in his dinner every night on the advice of the vet. He was overweight and on a special diet of ground beef, green beans, rice, cottage cheese and carrots. Along with one Tums ground up and mixed in. He ate that for 10 years! So no I don't think they will hurt Gracie!!!;) :p :D

They shouldn't hurt her. I give them to Sasha when her tummy is upset, on the vet's advice.

she should be okay, tums isnt bad. if you are really worried, let her drink a lot of water and it'll clean out the calcium through urine

Tums are fine, they won't hurt her! :)

Alot of people recommend feeding tums to dogs who get tear-stains. Apparently Tums help to get rid of it. I read a vet site that said they don't know if it works, but that the Tums don't hurt unless they are fed too much (they'll disrupt the calcium-phosphorus balance of the dog is on a kibble diet).

thank you! i wasn't too worried, but i thought i'd ask just in case.:)
