Wayne, Well.....maybe I am reaching a little on this but let me give my reasoning. I did not find info on direct measurements of the pH in the stomachs of dogs. But the duodenum is adjacent to the stomach and the stomach empties directly into the duodenum. The source of any acid within the duodenum must be the stomach. The study identifies three major periods within the duodenum: the weak acid period, the strong acid period, and alkaline period. The weak acid period had a pH ranging from 7.0 to 4.0. The strong acid period had a pH ranging from 8.0 to 1.0. I think we can ignore the 8.0 as a transient condition or else it could not be considered a strong acid period. So I would assume the strong acid period pH must basically range from 3.9 to 1.0, since 4.0 is part of the weak acid period. I believe that this clearly indicates that the pH within a dog's stomach is at times as low as 1.0 after eating and supports your comment relative to the pH of the dogs stomach would normally be 1.5 to 2.0. Assuming you were referring to the period after the dog has eaten. But I could be wrong. - Steve N

Of course not. And I doubt that anything else is as acid as the stomach. Without the special lining, secreted, the acid will eat a hole in the stomach. In both dogs and humans. And Time, is a factor, as mentioned in the article at your link. >See: > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7189099 Yes, I read it, and it said nothing about the stomach, stomach acid, pH of the stomach, or anything in the article, Related to Anything I said. I cannot see ( maybe I missed it ) any relation at all to the stomach or stomach acid. Likely everything stated may have some relevance to humans. Acid, ( no matter how much or how concentrated) the acid is put there to do a specific job. As it does the job, it is neutralized, and the acidity of the stomach will change. Time, Space, and Force, ...... are the other elements that are important, no only in the stomach, but many other things. <grin> And of course, as always, my numbers and ideas may all be wrong. Nevertheless, ......... my sources were better than yours. Maybe you can tell me, ......... but I see no relevance at all of the link, to the subject, ........ someone started.
