Yes, our Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics can help your dog with a hiatal hernia that causes acid reflux by promoting faster and more complete digestion of food. I would also use our Stomach Soother 10-15 minutes prior to meals to help coat and protect the ling of the esophagus. I also recommend our Sunflower Lecithin that provides phosphatidylcholine that can help to protect the esophagus by strengthening the mucous lining of the digestive tract. Three other quick tips: keep your dog at a healthy weight to lessen pressure on the abdomen, consider feeding three to four smaller meals daily to reduce pressure on the stomach, and lastly medications like Omeprazole® are not meant for long term use (not longer than a 14-day course) as it greatly interferes with proper digestion and can result in symptoms of malnutrition if used for longer periods.
