My Dog Keeps Sneezing. Is There Any Medication I Can Give Him Without Going To The Vet?
My dog constantly keeps sneezing. I was wondering if I can go to the drug store and buy medication rather than going to the vet?

You can give benadryl, but you need to talk to the vet about how much is safe to give, because if you have a small dog, you could overdose accidentally. Hope this helps, good luck.

Benadryl is a medication used all the time in veterinary medicine. The dose is 1 milligram per pound of body weight given by mouth every 8-12 hours. It comes in 25 milligram capsules and a children's liquid formula. Do NOT use the Cold and Sinus variety.
If your dog has a cough or nasal discharge he may have kennel cough or another type of upper respiratory infection. This will need to be treated.
If your dog is sneezing constantly then I would be concerned he has a nasal foreign body. Sometimes they sneeze these out but many times they do not then a secondary infection forms. A nasal flush may be needed.
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian so an appropriate treatment plan can be formed.

I give our dog benadryl all the time for sneezy, watery eyes. The animal control lady next to use recommended it. That's what you can use. I have a huge golden retriever and one pill works all day.

Our male 7 year old pug has allergies and we give him 1 benadryl if he gets really bad. It won't hurt the dog. I wouldn't give it to a puppy.

He's probably got a bug or dry grass stuck up there. It'll eventually get sneezed out but I wouldn't treat him. The chances of hurting rather than healing are always higher when you use human medication to treat animals - is never a good idea.
Then again, the chances that the bug is alive would get me to the vet faster than you could say 'ew'.
