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 Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

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 Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach 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.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. 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!
