Benadryl is an antihistamine which is administered to humans, dogs, cats and certain other animals. You should never give your dog this medication without the go-ahead from a vet, because some dogs may have defects that can cause Cushing's Disease if they take this medication, or some may have Allergies that you're not aware of.
As a rule of thumb, 1mg of Benadryl per pound.
If your dog is 5 pounds, that is no more than 5mg.
Always see a vet if you are unsure and before you administer anything at all. the vet would also tell you how much to use.
