My vet told me adult dogs may have 1mg/lb of their body weight of Children's Benadryl for Allergies (So a 25 pound dog may have 25mg every 8 hours if needed), but you should always consult a vet before giving any medication (especially human medication) or you may be just masking symptoms of something more serious. Also, since I'm not a vet, I don't know if the 1mg/lb applies to puppies (probably not since human children require lower dosages of the medication). Set up an appointment with a vet and you'll know what your doing.

Ask your vet. IF you bought from a TOP breeder ( NOT commercial, but professional) ask that person.

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.
