Yes but only Children's Benedryl and supervision just in case he/she is allergic to it but only a few people and animals are allergic to it. But you do need to know how much to give and how many times a day to give it.

∙ 11y agoOnly with great care, and you need to talk to your veterinarian about exactly what kind of Benadryl and how much. There are many Benadryl products on the market, and many of them are combination products with both an anti-histamine as well as decongestants, cough suppressants, pain/fever relief, etc. You can give a dog Benadryl, but only the type with just diphenhydramine. Also, you have to use the children's Benadryl liquid to make sure you don't overdose your dog.

∙ 10y agoYou need to ask your veterinarian about this. Some formulations of Benadryl can be useful to manage allergic reactions in dogs, but the dose is much lower than that for humans. Also, not all dogs can safely take Benadryl - it can interact with other medications and your dog's liver and kidneys need to be normal to process the medication and clear it from the body.

∙ 9y agoBenedryl is safe for dogs, but you should still talk to the vet for proper dosage, and to find what is actually causing the allergy. Many times it can be as simple as switching to a new dog food that does not contain certain ingredients. Instead of treating symptoms, it is often possible to eliminate the cause.

Generally, Benedryl is safe for dog's to consume. Make sure you use the proper dose which is about 1mg per pound.
