I use an eyedropper and give mine only a couple of drops. I have to give mine Benedryl when she gets her vaccinations.Additional 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.

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.
