I would NOT give lansoprazole/prevacid to your dog unless a veterinarian says it's ok, I don't think it is safe for them to take!!! However pepcid, also known as famotidine is safe for dogs & cats. My dog takes the 20 mg ones but he is also 90-100lbs. You would give less if your dog is smaller & we use to give a quarter of a tablet to some of our cats but that might have been the 10mg tabs. Call up any local vet in your area- they should be able to give u the correct dosage according to weight. By the way I do NOT give my dog pepcid every day, only a couple times a week & at most every other day (he is on pain meds also) Hope this helped!!!

On July 31st, 2017 I went to take my dog for his booster shot and asked the vet about what to use to treat my jack Russell dog for a bile/vomiting problem he sometimes has... She said he is OK to take lanzoprazol which is usually meant for humans... up to 10mg as he is 8.6kg, but ALWAYS check with a vet before giving your pet any medication as it could be something more serious.
