I buy this applesauce, they each get a few spoonfuls at night; then I finish it ~ sometimes I save the rest for the next few days and put it in a baggie in the fridge. At first I bought a big jar of it; but I like the small containers instead.

I prefer the small ones like you show too since the big jars take up so much room in the fridge and I worry they won't last as long.
So applesauce at night for the dogs, but does anyone know if a bit of baking soda in the a.m. is ok for a dog? Like in a 1/4 cup of broth? @Ddski5 do you continue with it even after the bothersome irritation is gone? i.e. - do you continue as a preventive after the cure? Curious minds and all that. Asha has just a few tummy aches totally unpredictable and usually after breakfast or in the middle of the night, which would be 8+ hours after her last meal. Slow feeder stopped most of it but still once every month or so... and are both of these natural cures to be given hours apart from a meal, meaning they work best if on an empty stomach?
You know…
Got up this morning and fed Freyja. She was laying on my lap 1hr afterwards and had a large burp that sounded wet. I’ll be damn, going to store today for applesauce and gonna do some research on effects of baking soda.
I just did a quick scan and this comes up so it’s a “No” on the baking side for now.

Glad you checked on the baking soda, it's something that wouldn't have had enough of a flag in my mind to check on. Thanks for sharing and good luck with applesauce, can't wait to hear how it works for her.

I drink a lot of water through out the day so I am constantly flushing my system so this probably accounts for getting rid the excess sodium in baking soda. I do take it on and off according to my reflux symptoms and it works for me a lot better than standard OTC reflux meds. I think it’s amazing that it completely stopped my reflux whereas OTC meds did not.
I will take it a week at a time and then stop.
You probably need to be careful with your small frame and all the hiking and sweating you do in your hot environment.

Thanks for the tip. I actually was only interested in the discussion for the dog and your findings on that really surprised me. Again, proof that natural substances don't always mean harmless!!! I'll stick with trying applesauce for Asha. She doesn't have any big problems, just occasional discomfort that I can never trace to any food or exercise or lack of or anything. Adding a slow feeder has surprisingly been the best thing for her digestion I've ever done.
I realize I'm pretty lucky that stomach issues are completely absent in my life. I can eat anything, have never had heartburn or indigestion, including all the spiciest Mex, New Mex, Tx Mex and Cajun.
@Ddski5 - regarding the link with baking soda info, good to know. I do have borderline high blood pressure and watch my salt intake, and I admit I'm terrible at drinking enough water and staying properly hydrated. So anyone else out there thinking about the baking soda route for themselves should take a look at that. In our low humidity any sweat dries as fast as it happens - there are no damp shirts ever, so you just don't feel it. Humidity has been less than 20% during the day for the last couple of months with few exceptions.
And I'm just the opposite of that. I'm on blood pressure meds and I drink a ton of water but my sodium level is way below the low normal (they said most people pass out at low levels higher than mine). My doc took me off one of the BP meds earlier this year hoping to get the sodium back up to at least the normal range, but it didn't change. We do normally have high humidity too so perhaps baking soda wouldn't be the worst thing for me, even though I don't normally have gastric problems.
