It helps our dog who gets upset during thunder storms then won't eat. This is like Pepto-Bismol for dogs. Don't give Pepto to your dogs...use this instead.

my dog is on this for acid reflux (GERD) and it has been a lifesaver for him. He would pace at night with upset tummy and it took a long time to figure out what was going on with him. a specialist vet finally told me to leave him on this forever and it totally works. happy to have a solution that lets us all sleep thou the night. if your dog has mystery upset tummy every night consider GERD.

Easy to order a lot cheaper than going to the vet.

I have a 10 month old Saint Bernard that has megaesophagus. She had a feeding tube placed since her esophagus essentially doesn't work, but I noticed she was developing a cough. After a visit with her internal medicine specialist, she was started on this medication for esophagitis - inflammation of the esophagus because she doesn't get any food by mouth. She gets one tablet, 3 times a day in a slurry orally, and she has done WONDERFUL on it. No coughing, not dry mouth, or ulcerations anymore. This fairly cheap medication has improved her quality of life, and makes her so much more comfortable. I will keep her on this medication for the rest of her life.

My dog has been on Carafate since I got her from the pound last year. I tried taking her off the medication for a week and started noticing a difference by day three. I'll not do that again. She may be old, but if a pill can make her confortable so be it.
