You're better off using tablet or liquid forms of Benadryl with dogs so you can get a more accurate dose.

It is not recommended to use Benadryl spray on dogs without consulting a veterinarian first. While diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl) may be safe in some forms for dogs, the spray might contain other ingredients that could be harmful or irritating. It's best to seek veterinary advice for appropriate treatments for your dog's skin itching.
Yes, a dog can overdose on Benadryl, and it doesn't take as much as you might think.
Benadryl can be safely given to both dogs and cats and has no known interactions with steroids but it's always best to check with your veterinarian before giving any medication to your pet. Never use liquid Benadryl for your pet as it can contain alcohol, which can be very unsafe for any animal.
This will depend upon the size of the dog and the exact formulation of Benadryl you are asking about.
An alternative to Benadryl for dogs that can be used for allergy relief is a medication called Apoquel. It is specifically designed to help manage itching and inflammation caused by allergies in dogs.
I am a registered Vet assistant, and have been working at a vet clinic for some time. WE give liquid and pill form benadryl quite often to dogs. The rule of thumb is 1mg per pound. For example: a 25lb dog can take 25mg of benadryl. I read on a veterinarian hospital page that you were NOT supposed to give the liquid form of benadryl to dogs.
No, this drug is for allergies.
