Benadryl to calm them? Im traveling with Izzy tomorrow via plane to Tennessee. The last time we traveled in December 06, he was 4 months old and did really well. Now he's almost a year and a 1/2 and is more energetic and aware than he was before.:p I heard that some people give their dogs benadryl to calm them down. Is this okay to give a Yorkie? If not what do you suggest? Thanks! Karla |
I've heard of a lot of people giving benadryl, so I believe it's safe. |
I give Benadryl to Mr. Biggs when he's itchy. It basically just calms him down and makes him a bit sleepy. I only give him 1/4 of a teaspoon. I don't see why you couldn't use it for a plane ride. He would just have a nice long nap. lol :) |

Our vet recommended CHildren's Liquid benedryl for Layla because she has allergies... she gets 1 ml and she is 6.4 lbs. i'm not sure about using it just for the calming effect.. i've read on here you hsoudln't medicate them when they are in a plane.. but i've never done it so i'm not sure.. i'd ask your vet. OH i do know about something called Rescue Remedy.. it is all natrual and is used to calm dogs down who are anxious in the car... might that work? |
It is safe for Yorkies to have Benadryl but when I give it to Ellie for allergies it doesn't calm her down.:rolleyes: |

Benadryl does nothing for Rudy to calm him down. It does work for his occasional allergy problems though. He is not good in the car, so the last time we took him to the beach, we got I forget the name of the drug, from our vet and that really helped him. If you want, I can look on the bottle for the name of the drug when I get home and PM you. |

LOL yeah, and he loves to sleep! I love your avatar, Mr. Biggs is sooo cute!:D |
I give benadryl to Max and Abbie for allergies but my vet also said that I could try to give it to Abbie to calm her in the car when traveling because she get really anxious, works herself up into a frenzy, then vomits all over herself. It works really well when she gets hives but does not work to calm her for travel. |
I gave Madeleine Benadryl for her first plane ride last month and it did nothing to calm her down :rolleyes: |
my vet recommends Draymamine (sp?) for motion sickness and it is supposed to make drowsy i never used it but thats what he uses for his babies! |
Is there a wieght chart for Benedryl for dogs that anyone knows of?? What kind of Benedryl is used..childrens or adults?? Dawn |
Yep. I've used it to calm my yorkie, or to help with vaccine reactions. I don't do it often though. |
My vet said 2mls for my 5lb baby of childrens benedryl! sorry Im so late responding to that! |
my vet says to give Bianca a 1/2 tablet when shes itchy. It calms her right down too!!! |
I know I'm about 3 years late for this discussion, but I'm having travel problems with my Bella. My vet suggested 2 days ago to give her half a benadryl tablet before traveling (which I did) but it did NOT work one bit. Bella was still scared, shaking, pacing, flying around the car. Any suggestions? I'm wanting to get it figured out now before we make the long trip to Florida in January for the big move. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!!! |
i'm traveling with my boyfriend from Chicago to New Jersey.. Bailey is 2.5 lbs and is about 17 weeks.. I'm sure we have tablets but I wonder if he's too young for that.. I just want to be able to calm him.. |
Benedryl gives mine diareaha so I would watch that. |
I give Charlie a benedryl at bedtime when his allergies is acting up and he is scratching. It usually does the trick and he goes to sleep. |
Not all dogs will be calmed by benadryl- some have something called a paradoxical reaction that will end up making them hyper. I recommend that if it's something you are interested in doing for traveling, that you do a test run first so you don't have any unpleasant surprises during your trip. Always consult with your vet as to the recommended dose for your dog. |

Classical music always does the trick for my dogs, too. |
I heard the same thing about not medicating for a plane ride. |
