Acid Reflux in Dogs
If your dog has bouts of gulping air, drooling, retching, swallowing, acting in pain a few hours after eating, then she may have acid reflux. These are 3 effective home remedies for your dog.
To start, feed your dog smaller meals, that are lower in fat and protein. This will mean that they can digest easier, and produce less acid in their stomachs.
Pepcid:
Pepcid is a common over-the-counter antacid, that can be used for quick relief of symptoms, and not something to use regularly.
Dosage of 2.5mg/10lbs daily.
Chamomile:
Is considered a safe natural antacid, this will help with an upset stomach and acid reflux.
Replace your dogs water with chamomile tea to soothe their stomachs.
Dosage of 1cup/20 lbs daily
Slippery Elm:
Slippery elm will create a natural paste that will coat the inflamed esophagus and stomach, and decrease the inflammation.
Dosage of 400mg/20lbs daily

Try feeding your dog smaller meals that are lower in fat and protein. You can also replace her water with cooled chamomile tea (about 1 cup per 20 lbs daily) to soothe her stomach, or add slippery elm (400?mg per 20 lbs daily) to help coat and calm the inflamed esophagus. These natural options are gentle and may help even when other remedies worsen her symptoms.
