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.

Benadryl is an antihistamine which is administered to humans, dogs, cats and certain other animals. You should never give your dog this medication without the go-ahead from a vet, because some dogs may have defects that can cause Cushing's Disease if they take this medication, or some may have allergies that you're not aware of. As a rule of thumb, 1mg of Benadryl per pound. If your dog is 5 pounds, that is no more than 5mg. Always see a vet if you are unsure and before you administer anything at all. the vet would also tell you how much to use.
