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.

∙ 10y agoThe guidelines for dosage in regard to dogs is 1/2mg. to 2mg. per pound. For instance if a dog (puppies) included weighs 15 pounds, the dog could have 30mg total but one capsule which is 25mg should suffice. The dose determined can then be given every 6 hours until swelling from bee stings, spider bites or fire ant bites comes down. Be aware that the side effect of Benadryl can be diarrhea, respiratory difficulty, or vomiting.

How much Benedryl per pound can you give a puppy?
Dogs and cats can't handle the same amount of human medication as humans can. Yes 1mg per pound with the dog, but this goes for pill version not liquid. Liquid has to go by the density of the liquid you are giving. I have a 55lb dog and liquid benadryl would be no more than 1/4tsp MAX for this size, and that's almost too much. The above is not accurate.. Standard dosage for dog is is 1 mg of benadryl per lb. There are 12.5mg of bendarly per 5 ml(teaspoon). Check with your vet first, but you can give 55lb dog 4tsp of liquid Children's benadryl. 1/4 tsp won't help.

This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment.

How much pill form benadryl can a 15lb dog get?
You shouldn't give an animal liquid benadryl. The liquid formula has too much alcohol in it and could cause alcohol poisoning. The dose for benadryl tablets is 1 mg per pound three times a day. Generally benadryl comes in 25 mg tablets , so you can cut one in half for your dog. It generally does only a fair job for itching in dogs. If the problem persists make and appointment with your vet.

What is the proper dosage of benadryl for a 12 lb dog?
Never use human medicine on your pets - it could easily result in overdose. Speak to a vet if your dog needs treatment or medicine, so the can prescribe medicine that is safe for the dog.Another AnswerI 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.Another AnswerThere 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.Another AnswerI 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.
