Dogs are allowed to have antacids. Use a coated one like Pepcid and consult with your vet for proper dosage.

Don't give your dog human medication without seeking approval from your vet first. Though it's okay in small doses, it's best to ask a vet to be sure.

You should never give your dog any medicine including antacid without first consulting your veterinarian. Your dog may experience long term side effects if the dosing is wrong.

You may give a dog an antacid, but I would recommend speaking with your vet about the recommended dosage before administering the antacid. Some dogs make be allergic to the medicine, so keep an eye on the dog after giving the antacid.
