Are Benadryl capsules ok to give dogs?

Put it into his food and he will eat it along with the food. Or open his mouth and put the tablet to the back of his throat. He will gag a little, but take your hand out and stroke his throat gently until he swallows. My dogs will eat around a pill, but I have no trouble giving them medication this way.

How can you help your dog with allergies?

Your vet can do an allergy test to determine what your dog is allergic to, but chances are it will be something you can't control, such as pollen, dust, etc. But they can also be allergic to certain shampoos, flea treatment, etc. Never use any shampoos that are not made specifically for dogs on your dog. Your vet can advise you on which product would be best to use on your dog. If it is environmental allergies such as pollen, you need to bathe your dog at least every 2 weeks to remove the allergens, which will help. You can also give your dog Benadryl for allergies. The dosage for dogs is 2 to 5 mg per kg of body weight (1 pound = .45 kg). For example, if your dog weighs 25 pounds, that would be 11.34 kg, so the dosage would be between 23 and 57 mg. Benadryl comes in 25 mg capsules, so one capsule would be the starting dosage. But if your dog weighs less, then you would need to use liquid Benadryl because you can't divide a capsule. But your vet can advise you on the dosage by phone. Some have allergies to certain foods, as well. If this is the case, your dog may have to be put on a special dog food made for dogs with food allergies. Your vet can advise you on this, too.
