My vet gave him a dose based on his weight of 9.5 lbs. So he takes 5mg of regular Claritin (not the "D" which is dangerous for dogs) once every 24 hours. My vet said that the Claritin doesn't make them drowsy like Benadryl. I don't think Barney is drowsy. I would definitely ask your vet if you could try it out and make sure you have the right dose.
