He also said that dogs could use many human allergy products, the ones I remember are Benadryl (but has to be administered 3x a day), Zyrtec (1/2 a tablet for my 15 lb. dog), and Tavis D but that's hard to find now in stores he said.

My schnauzer's eyes run, but I always attributed that more to the poodle in her than much else...
Interesting. Lady has environmental allergies and also chews on her feet.

She gets 1/4 Zyrtec.
