I am a registered Vet assistant, and have been working at a vet clinic for some time. WE give liquid and pill form benadryl quite often to dogs. The rule of thumb is 1mg per pound. For example: a 25lb dog can take 25mg of benadryl.
I read on a veterinarian hospital page that you were NOT supposed to give the liquid form of benadryl to dogs.

A 12 lb dog should receive 6-24 milligrams. Start low because it can cause upset stomach.
The dosage for Diphenhydramine in dogs is 0.5 to 2 mg per pound. The liquid comes in 12.5mg per 5ml. I tried to give some to my dog and it was a mess!
Pills are much easier to hide in food. You can usually get 40 25mg pills for $1 at a store like the dollar general.

That depends on how many milligrams of diphenhydramine are in each teaspoonful of the liquid, why you're giving the Benadryl, and whether or not your dog is receiving any other medications. Contact your Vet. He/she will know the correct dose for your pet.
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.
How much Benedryl per pound can you give a puppy?
Dogs and cats can't handle the same amount of human medication as humans can. Yes 1mg per pound with the dog, but this goes for pill version not liquid. Liquid has to go by the density of the liquid you are giving. I have a 55lb dog and liquid benadryl would be no more than 1/4tsp MAX for this size, and that's almost too much. The above is not accurate.. Standard dosage for dog is is 1 mg of benadryl per lb. There are 12.5mg of bendarly per 5 ml(teaspoon). Check with your vet first, but you can give 55lb dog 4tsp of liquid Children's benadryl. 1/4 tsp won't help.

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.

A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)
