| Benadryl For those of you whom I have asked this question a million times, please forgive me for asking again. I am nervous about giving the doggies anything that doesn't come directly from the vet, and our office doesn't sell benadryl. What kind of Benadryl liquid is safe for our little ones? I can't seem to find any without the flavorings like bubblegum. Is this safe? I want to have the Benadryl on hand in case of a bee or wasp sting, and I always have our vet give us the correct dosage for my boys.

YT 2000 Club Member | Good question! My vet also gives Benedryl but I don't know what kind or the dosage. I guess I will have to check this out.

| The standard small doggie dose of benadryl is 1mg per pound of dog. Therefore, a 6 lb dog would get 2.5ml or 1/2 tsp of childrens benadryl which is 12.5mg/5ml.

YT 2000 Club Member | So is the 1/2 tsp. of baby Benadryl for all sizes of dogs? Meaning could you give the same dose for a 1lb and up?

This is just the recommended dose for dogs. Purely weight based.

I'm not familiar w/ Baby Benadryl, but I have Children's which is alcohol free...but I would think the Baby one is also loll. They didn't have an unflavored one, so I just grabbed the Cherry flavor. Didn't need to use it yet...just have it in their 1st aid kit. So is flavored bad? I would think they'll hate it either way.

YT 2000 Club Member | Thank you for clarifying that for me. I was just curious if the dose was the same.

| Just no xylitol or grape extract (I think they use fake grape flavoring which is fine). The kind that is 12.5mg/ml..

I was thinking liquid in case the dog goes into shock, but the dog wouldn't be able to swallow liquid either. Thank you.
