What can I give my dog for acid reflux and quick stomach relief?

Question

My dog suffers from acid reflux (whenever she has a sick bug, operation or eats foods with grain). Someone looking after her for a couple days fed her rice - ugh!! So she’s now showing symptoms again - lip smacking, gulping, stomach noise etc. It always start in the early hours and last until the evening. I reduce food to plain boiled chicken and sweet potato but are there any other home remedies I can try for quick relief? I’m concerned about giving her a human anti acid like Pepto Bismol.

A better choice for an antacid would be Pepcid. You can discuss it and get a dose based on Bella's weight from your veterinarian. Legally, we are prohibited from telling you to give it and providing a dose without a physical exam and a VPCR (Veterinarian-Patient-Client Relationship). The bland diet is definitely a good idea. Consider a short fast, 12-24 hours, to give her tummy a rest. Offer the bland diet in small, frequent amounts
