I've given my dog this medication. I believe that's the generic name for benadryl. I would use the children's version of benadryl and dose according to the animals weight. (I'm not a veterinarian and have no medical training so YMMV)

Can you give your dog diphenhydramine with gabapentin?

No, you shouldn't mix Benadryl (diphenhydramine) with Neurontin (gabapentin) unless your vet has said it's okay, and has told you the correct dose of medications. Taken together, they can effect the central nervous system of your dog and possibly also depress the respiratory system.


Can you give your 20lb pug Benadryl for his seasonal allergies which are not severe?

It depends on the dosage of Benadryl (Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (HCL)). The recommended dosage is 1-2mg per lb of the dog. So your 20lb pug would need approximately 20-40mg. The standard Benadryl tablet is 25mg. So give your dog roughly 1-1.5 Benadryl tablets every 8-12 hours as needed for symptoms.
