I was going to give my 10lb cat 1.25 ml of Benadryl. I got one little drop on the back of his tongue and he went BALLISTIC! I don't recommend the liquid. I went back and purchased the pill form. If you have trouble with that, they make medicine pouches you can purchase at PetSmart. It's a small treat with a whole for the pill. The cat gobbles it down without realizing he has taken any medication. Plus, this way it is far less tramatic for him.
It is best to follow your veterinarian's recommendation when giving Benadryl to your dog. Typically, Benadryl can be given every 8-12 hours, but it is important not to exceed the recommended dosage or duration of administration as it can have side effects. Be sure to consult your vet for proper guidance.
No! Benadryl is a human drug, for human use only! If you must give your cat medication, take it to a vet and have them diagnose it. The medicine they perscribe may be similar to Benadryl, but it really isn't safe to put it anywhere near a cat.
The general recommendation for Benadryl dosage for dogs is 1mg per 1lb of body weight. For a 22lb dog, this would equate to 22mg of Benadryl. However, it is always best to consult with a veterinarian before giving any medication to your pet.
Do not give any animal any sort of drug without consulting with a veterinarian. Some human drugs are toxic to animals.

an 8 lb. dog needs 16 mg of Benadryl, so you can give it one teaspoon ofchildren's benadryl which has 12.5 mg. make sure it is regular benadryl and doesn't contain acetaminophen (to check, look at the active ingredients in the box or bottle).
No, this would be a very high dose. Call your veterinarian and ask how much Benadryl to give your dog.

This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.

Can I give Childrens Benadryl with Childrens Nyquil?
Dogs and cats can't handle the same amount of human medication as humans can. Yes 1mg per pound with the dog, but this goes for pill version not liquid. Liquid has to go by the density of the liquid you are giving. I have a 55lb dog and liquid benadryl would be no more than 1/4tsp MAX for this size, and that's almost too much. The above is not accurate.. Standard dosage for dog is is 1 mg of benadryl per lb. There are 12.5mg of bendarly per 5 ml(teaspoon). Check with your vet first, but you can give 55lb dog 4tsp of liquid Children's benadryl. 1/4 tsp won't help.
I just called the emergency clinic because my basset has hives from who knows what. We've been giving her 50mg of benadryl every 8 hours and she is 65lbs. Its supposed to be 1mg per pound. They said that we can give her the benadryl every 4-6 hours for now since she has hives.
