Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. At the high end of the dose range for Benazepril, Maui's dose would be about 13.6mg so she has not had a toxic dose. You may see symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, etc. If you see these symptoms, I would get her in to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Otherwise, just keep monitoring her for the time being. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
