Yes it is safe to give dose of Benadryl medicine to your dog for bee stings or other similar things like snake or insect bites but do verify the correct dosage from your vet.

I think anything safe for a baby or a small child is safe for a dog in that way. My Border Terrier is 15 lbs so we give him infant dosage of benadryl and he does good.

I have a lab that has skin allergies and when it gets bad for her, the vet told me I could give her 3-25mg. Of Benadryl tablets, twice a day and if necessary up to 4 tablets, but I've never given her 4. Medicine is given by weight and she weighs about 80 lbs. Check with your vet if your dog's weight is different.

NNNNNNOOOOOOO it will make them sooooooo sick just put ice on it and if the stinger is still in don't rub it . It will be pushed out when it's ready.

My vet has always directed me to use Benadryl for my dogs. The vet gives them Diphenhydramine in the office. As long as you give it according to their directions, you should be fine. I'd like to see you find the stinger, let alone rub the painful area on a dog with an ice pack.
Ok sorry but that's the most idiotic thing Ive ever heard. YES the vet will tell you to give the dog Benadryl but verify their weight just do the tablets though they are easy...block of cheese works wonders. And as for itching it's not always their diet the vet said some dogs are like people and need allergy meds. Try the food swap but honestly it's prob. Just one of those things
NO! Benadryl is definately not an option for a dog. Do not give a dog any human medications. They swelling should go down soon. If they stinger of the bee is still located in you dog carefully take it out. If you want to be positive she is OK take her to the vet. Otherwise to help the swelling and pain without medication, use ice packs, or ice in a bag, and wrap firmly on the dog's injury or swelling.

Once again have you even talked to a VET???? They tell you to use it just make sure you don't give them too high a dosage....
I had a lab 5 years ago that was stung by a bee and her face swelled up like a balloon. I took her to the vet and they told me to get Children's Benadryl (the chewable kind that also dissolves quickly). I gave her 1 pill right then, and another the next morning. Her swelling was completely gone within 24 hours.
I also had this problem with my current lab. Her face didn't swell as much, but I gave her a dose of Benadryl and her swelling was gone within 4 hours.
You might have to hide the Benadryl in a treat or something. My dog is really smart and refused to eat the pill. Even when I tried to give her the pill then a treat. She spit the pill out and ate the treat.
Good luck
