How Much Benadryl Is Safe For A 70 Lb Dog?

I have to make a 12 hour long car trip with my 3 large dogs, a black lab and 2 pit bulls. I was told benadryl was safe to calm them for the ride. I dont want to knock them out, but they will be riding in the back seat of the car with my 13 year old daughter and need to be calm. I need to know a safe dose they are all about 70 lbs. Thanks

      Yes...you can give them 2 tablets at 25mg each...I give my lab who is about 60lbs 2 for grass allergies, however she is still hyper.  The vet told me it would be fine to give up to 4- 25mg tablets.  It is usually 1- 25mg tablet for every 15 to 20lbs...so if your dog has never taken them start off with just 2.
