Never give a dog human medicines unless instructed to do so by a veterinarian. You will need to give the dog considerably less than the over the counter package indicates because of the fairly big size difference between a human and a small dog. In canines, Benadryl can be used to treat Allergies, much like it is in humans, as well as anxiety.

This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment.

How much liquid benadryl do you give a 12 pound dog?
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.
