Benadryl, or another branded antihistamine, can be incredibly useful for treating allergies, bug bites, or other causes of itchy skin.

However, dosages for dogs are much different than for humans. Use the chart below to determine if your OTC medication is dog (and cat) safe and how much should be administered. Always check with your veterinarian that understands your petâs health and history before giving any medications. Additionally, be certain that youâre using only the medication listed, not other ingredients. Many antihistamines, for example, include added decongestants that can be lethal for your dog.
