Is it healthy to give your dog alka seltzer , because i think mine does?

Question

i gave him half a bottle earlier and not sure if its healthy is it?

Answer 1

I don't think it's healthy to give your dog Alka Seltzer mainly because it has aspirin in it which can damage the stomach lining. It would be better to ask your dog's vet though :)

Answer 2

Don't give him things unless you know it's safe, child.  PHone your vet and ask if alka seltzer is toxic for dogs.

Answer 3

It's never healthy to give first and ask questions later.

Answer 4

WHAT! you should take him to the vet. Never give your dog somthing if your not sure if it's healthy for him :(.

Answer 5

I have given a dog pepto before (the pink stuff) and it's safe for dogs.

Answer 6

No it's NOT healthy to give a dog Alka seltzer.  In fact unless your vet tells you to give them something never assume.

The only thing for a dogs upset stomach is Pepcid AC 10mg.  Not complete but just pain old pepcid AC.

Call your vet to make sure you haven't seriously injured your dogs internal organs like his kidneys or liver.

Answer 7

No, and you need to consult your vet immediately and tell him or her what's happened.  The vet may want to give your dog an emetic to make her empty the alka seltzer from his stomach.

If you're just trolling however (because I can't believe someone would actually do that) then go and play outside with the other children.

Answer 8

Do you make a habit of giving your dog things you arent sure are safe? I would call your vet to check with them, I have never given my dog Alka Seltzer so I don't know. And in the future please refrain from giving your dog human medacine

Answer 9

why did you give your pet this- you think he has what?

You need to call your vet and have the bottle with you to tell them what was in it

I looked it up, there are lots of different kinds

some may have toxins to dogs in them
