Funny thing, i just called my vet this a.m. to ask that very question. My LuLu weighs 10 lbs. and the vet's instructions were 1/2 the children's benadryl tablet. We have such a hard time getting her to take it. So I called to ask the vet this morning about dosage of the liquid form.....he said 1/2 of the dosage stated for children. I'll be getting the liquid form today. We all love our dogs, don't we! Good Luck.
