Is It Safe To Give A Dog Benadryl?

Remember that Benadryl is dosed for a 150 lb adult.  If your puppy weights 10 lbs, you will only want to give her 1/15 of a tablet.  The best way to do this is to crush up a benadryl tablet and mix it with a TABLESPOON (not a teaspoon) of sugar.  Start by giving him 1/4 teaspoon of this mixture and seeing how she reacts.  You can always give her more if it doesn't bring relief but start out with a small dose before going to higher ones.

Yes, but ask a Vet for the right dose.

Yes, when I lived in Virginia Beach, my 5 lb. Papillion developed "the Tidewater itch" and her vet prescribed Benadryl to relive her symptoms.  It was the only thing that kept her from scratching herself bald.

I don't think it is safe to give your dog people madacen you never now what could happen and if you don't now if its safe DONT DO IT.........................

My 10 lb. Dog has seasonal allergies...can I give her childrens benadryl 2x a day

Yes - 1mg per lb every 12 hours.

Well i do not know if the vet recomends it but we've given are dog a low does of it before, however he is a big dog...hes only 7months but he is big

If i was you i would just try and take the dog to the vet never prescribe a dog any kinds of medicine that is not prescribe by the vet.

DO NOT give your puppy sugar.And dogs need higher dose of benadryl than people, but use benadryl with formula only containing dihydramine NOT benadryl cold or flu or anything like that. The best way is to give about 1mg per lb of weight. I talked to the vet and she said the most common mistake people make is under-dosing. I feed my 40lb dog 50mg (2 25mg pills) every-morning and it really helps with itching. I have another 5 month old puppy weighing about 33 lbs and he had the same problem as yours. Perfectly healthy with no bugs or parasites but started itching. I gave him 1.5 of 25mg pills (37.5mg) and he stopped itching!!! Original formula Benadryll is perfectly safe with low risk of overdose and/or side effects. It might make your puppy drowsy but it does that to people too. But JUST in case. Look out for obvious signs of discomfort after administering. And you should ALWYS make sure you have access to the emergency vet! Oh and the best way to feed benadryl is to cover it with peanut butter and you don't even have to crush it. It tastes  worse if you do. But before you do anything, DO take your puppy to the vet to MAKE SURE it is allergies and not some other problem..!

Yes-1cc

Yes, in a small dose if needed for travelling.  It is better using a natural way of calming dogs down.
Bach's Rescue Remedy is fantastic.
Tiny pieces of Lavender in a envelope also is a calming agent.

Actually the easiest way to give Benadryl is to get Childrens Benadryl. It's easier to measure out that way. What you want to figure is 1mg per 1lb of body weight for your dog.
