Omeprazole is an over the counter medication for humans, not intended for veterinary use except when prescribed (off label) by a veterinarian who has examined and diagnosed the dog.

Self diagnosing the dog by owner or by listening to internet folks and administering meds not prescribed for your dog could cause an adverse reaction.
That goes for all medications and supplements intended for humans.
Some over the counter meds interfere with the absorption of prescription meds.

Best to check with the vet that knows the dog.
