Carole Is the tablets better than the powder, the reason I say powder is my mother used it quite often. Both of my dogs are trying to eat grass even though its not nice. Vet told me to give gaviscon two 5mls x2 a day and they hate the stuff and try every way they can to stop me giving it to them. Marion

Hi Marion, It is a lot easier to give the tablets than the powder. We just hide them in a little bit of meat. However, lots of dogs like to eat grass, so unless it is worrying you, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. If it is worrying you, try giving them a tablet each for several days and see if it helps or not. Best wishes, Carole.

Glad it helped, Arthur. It's good stuff and works well on people, too, for upset stomach and diarrhoea.
