Alway's call your vet before you give your dog any drug you've never given before. He knows the dog's medical history. I have rescued dog's for most of my life and never, never given one anything until I talk to the vet, not at all safe. I have a number of personal dog's and have to keep generic benadryl on hand. Ask your vet about long acting allergy shot's. I have two babies that get them. I feel like that's safer and last's longer than the effect's of a pill every day. Good luck.

My 20 lbs. pup was stung by a bee yesterday. I gave her 1/2 a children's Benadryl tab. Swelling is gone and she's fine now.
This is my vet's advice.

please call your vet - an overdose will be fatal - good luck - your dog may not be large enough to handle benadryll and the vet may be able to prescribe or suggest something else that would be appropriate

Yes you can give your dog Benedryl. One pill is enough.
