No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.
You can give 0.5-1mg of benadryl per pound
My dog has allergies and the vet recommended Children's Benadryl tablet formula. You give 1mg per pound of the dog. So a 15 lb dog would get 15mg. However, the tablets for children come as 12.5mg. One tablet seems to work fine for my 15lb dog. Hope this helps!
around one mg per pound
one milligram per pound.
For benadryl the dosage is 1mg per pound in mild cases, if there is a severe reaction such as swelling after vaccination you can use 2mg per pound.
This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.
1ml of benadryl can have a dog for each pound.
1 mg per kilogram ( about 2 mg per pound).
an 8 lb. dog needs 16 mg of Benadryl, so you can give it one teaspoon ofchildren's benadryl which has 12.5 mg. make sure it is regular benadryl and doesn't contain acetaminophen (to check, look at the active ingredients in the box or bottle).
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.
Dogs can be given one milligram for every pound of weight, of regular strength Benadryl every 8-12 hours. For a 30 pound dog, you can try one 25mg tablet twice a day, to see if the slightly lower dose controls your dog's symptoms. You could also use Children's liquid regular strength Benadryl. Notice I say "children's", regular liquid Benadryl! Regualr liquid Benadry has too high an alcohol content to be safely used for animals.
Can I give Childrens Benadryl with Childrens Nyquil?
