Can I give my dog Pepcid for stomach issues? How much and how often?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 55 lbs

We recently adopted a dog and he’s been having some stomach issues lately. On his original vet paperwork it says 10 mg of Pepcid Ac, would this be ok for us to give to him, and if so, how often?

Yes, you can give 10mg of Pepcid (famotidine). It should be given once a day at the same time each day. You can give it for 14 days straight and then stop. Hopefully the problem will have resolved by then.
