A person taking six to eight 25 milligram Benadryl tablets will overdose.
No, this would be a very bad idea. First, dogs need a much different dose of Benadryl than humans do, and skin absorption of Benadryl is very different between humans and dogs. You could cause a bad overdose with this without meaning to. Second, Benadryl cream is formulated to be placed on the skin ONLY - dogs tend to lick anyplace that is irritating them and are likely to lick this stuff off and eat it, potentially causing a bad medical reaction to the ingredients in the cream. Third, dogs really don't need a topical Benadryl - veterinarians use it to deal with bee stings and mast cell tumors, but those are both pretty rare and not something you would be handling on your own.

What does your dog's Vet say?
Benadryl is an antihistamine that is primarily used to treat allergies in dogs. It may provide some relief for mild pain or discomfort, but it is not a pain medication specifically designed for dogs. It is important to consult with a veterinarian before giving Benadryl or any other medication to your dog for pain relief.
