I read on a veterinarian hospital web page that you were not supposed to give the liquid Benadryl to dogs due to the high alcohol content.
My dog got into nettles this weekend, and she weighs 15 pounds. The vet said to give her a 25 milligram tablet, and this can be repeated up to 3 times a day. HOWEVER, you should take your dog to the vet so they can give your dog the correct dosage. Every dog is different.

There is NO alcohol IN CHILDREN'S Liquid Benadryl - read the LABEL.
you're thinking of original NyQuil - which whino's used to buy to get drunk when they couldn't afford real alcohol - get your story straight BEFORE you post.

I think what the one poster was thinking was that the liquid Benadryl has sucrose (sugar) and sodium (salt) in it, which is not good for small dogs. That is why he or she was not suggesting the individual with the question use Children's liquid Benadryl for a 12 pound dog. It would be nice if the above poster would learn to be more patience with others.

Can you give your 20lb pug Benadryl for his seasonal allergies which are not severe?
It depends on the dosage of Benadryl (Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (HCL)). The recommended dosage is 1-2mg per lb of the dog. So your 20lb pug would need approximately 20-40mg. The standard Benadryl tablet is 25mg. So give your dog roughly 1-1.5 Benadryl tablets every 8-12 hours as needed for symptoms.
Dog Benadryl dose?
The standard benadryl (diphenhydramine) dose for a dog is 1 milligram (1mg) per pound every 8-12 hours. For example a 25 pound dog could get 25mg of benadryl two to three times per day. This can cause drowsiness. if your dog is too sleepy after dosing you can give 1/2 a dose. I am not a veterinarian and I recommend that you never give any medication (even over the counter medication like benadryl) without first consulting a veterinarian.

I searched for our 5 lb. Chihuahua and found an average dose recommendation of 1/4 tsp of liquid Children's Benadryl (the one that says 12.5 mg on bottle)once in the morning and in the evening. This was recommended by an online vet. I will start out with only 1/8 tsp at first, though.

You can give it 150 mg every 8 - 12 hours. If this dosage does not seem to alleviate the dog's pain, call your vet to see if you can increase the dosage. If your vet is not available (weekends, evenings) you can call your nearest emergency or after hours clinic and ask them. Most of them will answer your questions about things like this with out charging you a fee.

Dosage is by weight not age. The recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Be safe and pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This usually works well and seems to be pretty safe.
