How much liquid Benadryl can I give my 54 lb, 1-year-old Lab?

Yes this should be fine as long as there isn't xylitol in it. If she is 9 pounds, the other option is to give her 1/2 of an adult 25mg benadryl pill which equals the childrens dose of benadryl. This may be easier than trying to get the liquid down her but either one would work. I hope this helps! See link below. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/#!

The dosage is 1 mg per lb, so a 50 lb dog would get 50mg of Benadryl once every 12 hrs. Only pets with no hx of underlying heart disease or drug interactions can safely have Benadryl. You should always check with your vet on if this medication is appropriate for your pet, based on her history. Best wishes and take care.

The calculation for Benadryl is quite simple, it just 1mg per lb , so for a 5 lb dog it would be around 5mg. Since Benadryl comes in 25mg usually this is close to 1/4 tablet and there is a wide safety margin for Benadryl so 1 or 2 mg above or below is well tolerated. Expect some drowsiness just like in humans.

Hello, do not worry about grams. Benadryl usually comes as a 25 mg or a 50 mg tablet. The liquid Benadryl is usually 12.5 mg per teaspoon. If you use any of these, make sure they do not have pseudoephedrine as one of the ingredients. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

He would need 5-1/2 teaspoons of the liquid Benadryl. Dogs take a much higher dose than humans because they metabolize it differently. His dose would be 75mg and you can give that twice a day. You are better off using the capsules or tablets that are usually 25 mg each - if you got those you could give 3 at each dosing. It should not cause any issues with the liver or kidneys. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to give the dose information for any drug, including OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. You need to check with Chewy's vet to see if it's safe to give him, and the vet can give you the dose.

I am going to attach a link to our information section on Benadryl below which includes doses as well as when to use it. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. You can give 1 mg per pound of body weight. So if Luci weighs 100 pounds, she can get 100 mg of Benadryl. This may make her drowsy, however. I recommend using a monthly flea preventative medication such as Frontline or K9 Advantix. I hope this is helpful!

YOu can try 1 and half but this is unlikey to help minimize the itching but does help with redness. You can do a bath in a medicate shampoo to help keep her skin from collecting the allegens then talk to your vet about stronger medications such as apoquel or a short course of steriods or a diet change

Hi, and thanks for your question. This could be due to an allergy, although it could also be infection or mites. First of all, in order to rule out skin parasites, you will need to treat with a high quality flea treatment, then ask the vet to perform a skin scrape - this might reveal an infection or a mite infestation. If all of those came back negative, the next step is to treat the allergy symptomatically and try to discover the cause of the allergy. Three main type of allergies are usually affecting pets: food allergies, flea and parasite related ones and environmental type (allergens coming from trees, pollens, dust etc etc). Some medications can be given by the vet in order to repair any possible skin lesions (like steroids and antibiotics). To be honest I do not think benadryl can help to understand the nature of the problem and treat it effectively. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if yo
