2nd Answer:
Never never give your dog human or prescription medications without taking your pet in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. You could possibly kill or make your pet very ill.
1st Answer:
Enough that 4 people would take.
Human medications shouldn't be given to dogs at all except by a veterinarian's instructions and under their supervision. Otherwise, you run a high risk of accidentally killing your dog.

There is nothing safe about it, DO NOT DO IT. How do you know this?The above response seems misguided...Here are the dosage guidelines for Valium use in cats and dogs.The typical dose administered to dogs is 0.25 to 1 mg per pound (0.5 to 2 mg/kg) and 0.25 to 0.5 mg per pound (0.5 to 1 mg/kg) in cats, intravenous as needed or as often as every six hours.Information provided by:
Dogs can't take Motrin.
Ask a vet before you do anything!!
one milligram per pound.
A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)
You can give a dog Buffered Aspirin 5-12.5 mg per pound, every 12 hours for pain, inflammation, and fever. Usually one regular strength tablet (325mg) for a 50-60 pound dog.
1 mg per 2 lbs of weight
3 to 5 mg per pound. That would be 120mg to 200mg.
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.
1 mg per kilogram ( about 2 mg per pound).
