Benadryl is safe to use in dogs up to 1 mg per pound (so a 25 mg tablet is safe for a dog that weighs up to 25 pounds). But if the label has the words "Sinus" or "Headache" on it, it could also contain a decongestant or acetaminophen, both of which can be toxic to dogs.

You should also use extreme caution using Benadryl in dogs that have glaucoma, prostatic disease, cardiovascular disease or hyperthyroidism. Benadryl is quite effective when used in proper dosages. Stops itching Controls vomiting Good for motion sickness Can be used as a mild tranquilizer Good for snake bites Useful for vaccination reactions Good for bee stings and insect bites Be sure to use only the plain Benadryl formula. Giving benadryl with other combination of meds could be fatal, so be sure to read the box. Liquid Benadryl is too high in alcohol content to be safely used for animals. Please use capsule or pill form. Dosage every 8 hours Dogs under 30 lbs and Cats : 10 mg Dogs 30-50 lbs: 25 mg Dogs over 50 lbs: 50 mg Additionally, the dosing for dogs (puppies) is 1-3 mg/kg by mouth every 8-12 hours.

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.
