Funny thing, i just called my vet this a.m. to ask that very question. My LuLu weighs 10 lbs. and the vet's instructions were 1/2 the children's benadryl tablet. We have such a hard time getting her to take it. So I called to ask the vet this morning about dosage of the liquid form.....he said 1/2 of the dosage stated for children. I'll be getting the liquid form today. We all love our dogs, don't we! Good Luck.

How much childrens liquid benadryl for a 3 pound chihuahua?

It's crucial to consult a veterinarian before administering any medication, including children's liquid Benadryl, to your dog. Generally, the typical dosage for dogs is around 1 mg of diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl) per pound of body weight, given every 8 to 12 hours. For a 3-pound Chihuahua, this would be approximately 3 mg per dose, but always confirm with your vet for the correct dosage and safety.

How do you convert 25 mg of Benadryl into teaspoons?

To convert 25 mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) into teaspoons, you first need to know the concentration of the liquid form, as the dosage in milligrams is typically based on liquid formulations. For example, if you have a liquid Benadryl with a concentration of 12.5 mg per 5 mL (1 teaspoon), 25 mg would equal 10 mL, which is approximately 2 teaspoons. Always check the specific concentration on your medication's label for accurate conversions.

How much Benedryl per pound can you give a puppy?

Dogs and cats can't handle the same amount of human medication as humans can. Yes 1mg per pound with the dog, but this goes for pill version not liquid. Liquid has to go by the density of the liquid you are giving. I have a 55lb dog and liquid benadryl would be no more than 1/4tsp MAX for this size, and that's almost too much. The above is not accurate.. Standard dosage for dog is is 1 mg of benadryl per lb. There are 12.5mg of bendarly per 5 ml(teaspoon). Check with your vet first, but you can give 55lb dog 4tsp of liquid Children's benadryl. 1/4 tsp won't help.

It's generally not recommended to cut or split liquid medications like Benadryl, as this can affect the dosage and effectiveness.

They can provide guidance on whether a different formulation or dosage method is more suitable. Always prioritize your pet's safety and well-being by seeking professional advice.


I need to give my cat 1mg of benadryl per pound but idon't know how much that is in teaspoon or tbs?

I was going to give my 10lb cat 1.25 ml of Benadryl. I got one little drop on the back of his tongue and he went BALLISTIC! I don't recommend the liquid. I went back and purchased the pill form. If you have trouble with that, they make medicine pouches you can purchase at PetSmart. It's a small treat with a whole for the pill. The cat gobbles it down without realizing he has taken any medication. Plus, this way it is far less tramatic for him.
