You would need to talk to your veterinarian about this - dogs can take some Benadryl, but the doseage has to be carefully monitored and a veterinarian has to prescribe or authorize it for your dog. Amitriptyline is an anti-depressant, which in some cases may be prescribed for dogs by a veterinarian to assist with behavioral therapy for the dog. In no instance should you give either Benadryl or amitriptyline to your dog without first consulting with your veterinarian. Both drugs are regulated by the FDA and administering either to a dog is an off-label drug use that must be overseen by a veterinarian.
