You should ask a veterinarian. They will tell you the proper form of benadryl, and the dosage depending on the animal's size.

How much liquid benadryl do you give a 12 pound dog?

I am a registered Vet assistant, and have been working at a vet clinic for some time. WE give liquid and pill form benadryl quite often to dogs. The rule of thumb is 1mg per pound. For example: a 25lb dog can take 25mg of benadryl. I read on a veterinarian hospital page that you were NOT supposed to give the liquid form of benadryl to dogs.

How much benadryl can you give a 7 pound dog?

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.

How much benadryl do I give a 4 month old puppy?

Age is not a factor when giving Benadryl to dogs. The factor is the weight of the dog. The rule is that your dog should have no more than 1mg (milligram) of Benadryl per lb (pound) of weight. So if your dog is 5lbs, that would be no more than 5mg. You should consult a vet first, however, as it is possible for dogs to be allergic to the medication.
