The typical dosage of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for dogs is 1 mg per pound of body weight, given every 8 to 12 hours. However, it's crucial to consult with your veterinarian before administering any medication, as they can provide the appropriate dosage based on your dog's specific health needs and conditions. Always use the plain Benadryl formulation without added ingredients like acetaminophen, which can be harmful to dogs.

How much pill form benadryl can a 15lb dog get?

You shouldn't give an animal liquid benadryl. The liquid formula has too much alcohol in it and could cause alcohol poisoning. The dose for benadryl tablets is 1 mg per pound three times a day. Generally benadryl comes in 25 mg tablets , so you can cut one in half for your dog. It generally does only a fair job for itching in dogs. If the problem persists make and appointment with your vet.
