Age is not a factor when giving Benadryl to dogs. The factor is the weight of the dog.

The rule is that your dog should have no more than 1mg (milligram) of Benadryl per lb (pound) of weight. So if your dog is 5lbs, that would be no more than 5mg.

You should consult a vet first, however, as it is possible for dogs to be allergic to the medication.
