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. As a general rule, Benadryl is very effective for both dogs and cats, as it is for humans, and, as with humans, the primary side effect is drowsiness, with dogs and cats, as well.

∙ 14y agoYou should not give a dog (or any animal) human medication. Go to or call a vet. If they advise you to use Benadryl (I doubt it) they can tell you how much. You can make the dog ill or kill it by overdosing.

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.

I searched for our 5 lb. Chihuahua and found an average dose recommendation of 1/4 tsp of liquid Children's Benadryl (the one that says 12.5 mg on bottle)once in the morning and in the evening. This was recommended by an online vet. I will start out with only 1/8 tsp at first, though.
