I read on a veterinarian hospital web page that you were not supposed to give the liquid Benadryl to dogs due to the high alcohol content.
My dog got into nettles this weekend, and she weighs 15 pounds. The vet said to give her a 25 milligram tablet, and this can be repeated up to 3 times a day. HOWEVER, you should take your dog to the vet so they can give your dog the correct dosage. Every dog is different.

I think what the one poster was thinking was that the liquid Benadryl has sucrose (sugar) and sodium (salt) in it, which is not good for small dogs. That is why he or she was not suggesting the individual with the question use Children's liquid Benadryl for a 12 pound dog. It would be nice if the above poster would learn to be more patience with others.
