My dog has sores from allergies on his body and we are giving him 12mg twice a day and doesn't seem to be helping. Also what would be good to put on his sores? Thanks!

The Benadryl dose for dogs is 1 milligram per pound of body weight given by mouth every 8-12 hours. Do not use the Cold and Sinus variety only plain Benadryl is safe.
Allergy treatment is multi-modal. Secondary infections are also common and need to be treated.
Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian--these sores sound like they need more than topical treatment. Benadryl will not cure the sores only the redness and inflammation secondary to allergies.
You and your veterinarian need to develop an individual treatment plan to control your dog's allergies. The goal is to control not cure allergies.

For the sores try giving him fish oil, you can mix it in his food. And dear first give him 12.5 mg then slowly increase the amount. But not too much. Hope your dog will be fine very soon.
