A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)

Dog Benadryl dose?

The standard benadryl (diphenhydramine) dose for a dog is 1 milligram (1mg) per pound every 8-12 hours. For example a 25 pound dog could get 25mg of benadryl two to three times per day. This can cause drowsiness. if your dog is too sleepy after dosing you can give 1/2 a dose. I am not a veterinarian and I recommend that you never give any medication (even over the counter medication like benadryl) without first consulting a veterinarian.

There is no set dose for an 8 pound dog; veterinarians typically prescribe within a certain range based upon the dog's symptoms and what the prednisone is being used to treat.

If you believe your dog needs treatment with prednisone, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination.
