A typical caplet is 25 mg. The calculated does would be 6.25 mg. Benadryl is pretty forgiving as to dose. For a 20 lb. dog, I'd break off about 1/4 - 1/3 of the pill. If you're using capsules, the same is true.

Put either in a favorite treat (like peanut butter) and your pooch will usually take it willingly, or you can administer it from the capsules by mixing it with warm water, draw it into a syringe (without the needle) and spray it onto the roof of the pet's mouth (so it doesn't go down the wrong pipe).

Benedryl shouldn't be used to euthanize a dog.

Contact your vet, or your local humane society or animal shelter.
