Can I give my dog Pepcid and Omeprazole same day? What if he chews the capsule?

Question

Tucker was being given 5mg Pepcid at 7:30am and 7:30pm. He last had Pepcid at 7:30 this morning. My vet has now prescribed 10mg Omeprazole to start tonight instead of Pepcid. Is it safe to give them both in one day since they are 12+ hours apart? Also, the omeprazole is a capsule. I was told to put it in a small amount of food. Is it ok if Tucker bites and possibly breaks the capsule when taking it? I'm concerned he will try to chew it. Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 17 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Pepcid and Omeprazole can be given in the same day and are even safe to give together. It is also ok if he punctures the capsule, though he may not like the taste. You can try pill pockets or using canned food to give the pill in if he can tolerate that. I hope this helps!
