My pet is sneezing. Can I give children's liquid Benadryl? How much?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

I know I can give her 1mg per pound of the adult pill benadryl. Can I give her children's liquid benadryl for her sneezing? If so, how much? If there is something else i can give her please let me know.

You can absolutely us liquid children's benadryl if it is allergy related. Make sure there is NO xylitol in it though. Typically the amount of liquid benadryl you will have to give will be a lot and it may not be worth giving the liquid version. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
