Yes you can give a dog benadryl indefinitely...just make sure that you check with your vet that you are giving the correct dose. You want to give as little as possible, just enough to control the symptoms. You may want to also check with your vet to see if there is another antihistamine that may even work better for your dog. Surprisingly there are many antihistamine that you can get through a prescription from your vet that may even be cheaper than buying benadryl over the counter.
An Alternate Answer:
Dogs can have 1-2mg of Benadryl per pound, every 8 hours. This can be used to treat allergic reactions, and it also has some anti-anxiety effects. As a general rule, Benadryl is very effective for both dogs and cats, as it is for humans, and, as with humans, the primary side effect is drowsiness, with dogs and cats, as well.

No. Never give a dog human medicine unless a veterinarian tells you to. They can be fatal to dogs. My dog has allergies, and although I do give him generic Benadryl, I would agree that it is necessary to consult your veterinarian first. Only he or she can confirm a diagnosis and tell you the correct amount. This is worth the cost of an office visit.
