Yes you can. I use a generic benadryl, ( it's cheaper and does the same thing as name brand.) you give 1 mg per pound of body weight. So, if your dog wieghs 50 pounds give 2 of the 25 mg tablets. Make sure you buy tablets and not capsules if you have a 10 pound dog you can break the tablet in half. My dog weighs about 54-56 pounds, I still give him 2 tablets. It doesn't have to be exact. you can give your dog the meds 2-4 times a day if needed. My dog has seasonal Allergies so I give it to her at night so she isn't up all night itching.
