Hi there, I'm Deb, a licensed veterinarian.

How much does Sosa weigh?

You can give her 0.5 mg per pound of body Weight, by mouth, two to three times a day (every 8-12 hours).

Have a good night... and I hope Sosa is less itchy soon.

I'm sorry.... that dose is 1 milligram per pound of body weight.

So, for example, a 50 pound dog can have 50 milligrams of Benadryl, by mouth, every 8-12 hours (two to three times a day.

So, my 50 lb example works perfect for Sosa.

You can give her 2-capsules.

That's a total of 50 mg.

Dogs all react differently. I've had clients say yes, their dog got sleepy, but other say that their dog did not.

Dogs metabolize it differently, and their dose is higher than ours.

You won't.... but if you'd feel more comfortable, start with one 25 mg capsule.

You can always give the other if necessary.

You are very welcome.

Don't worry about being nervous at all... start at the lower dose. Every dog and human can react differently to Benadryl.

You too!
