Yes !! do not use that much. What are you giving it to your dog for? Remember there are 2 kinds of Benadryl an antihistimine and a decongestant. Assuming you are using the anithistamine, I'd check with your vet.

Hi,

Benadryl is a cough syrup and used at the time when suffering from cough or cold. You must consult your vet before giving too much benadryl to your dog. Excessive intake of medicine will cause negative impact on your dog's health,

50 mg of Benadryl would overdose a 9 pound dog.

Benadryl can cause shortness of breath, swelling of limbs, convulsions, and even death. If a dog had an overdose of Benadryl, you should not delay in contacting your vet. The dog needs to be treated immediately.

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.
