Dog wih allergies?

I have a 7 lb dog and she has allergies i was wondering if i could giver her benydrill and if so how much? Or what else can i give her? Thanks

There are several things you can give your dog that are over the counter but you should always ask your vet first to make sure you are using the right one. My dog also has allergies and my vet told me what to use and how much. A quick and free phone call will give you EXPERT advice and better then anything you will find here.

The other thing you have to be aware of is that when a dog has allergies you have to find the cause of them. Our dog is on Canidea dog food that is made for dogs with allergies. NO GROCERY store food should be givin to dogs that have this problem because they are full of corn, wheat and by products that actually make the problem worse. Try Canidea, Wellness, Pinnincal, Innova, Solid gold these are just a few for dogs with allergies.

Yes, you can give the dog benadryl. Benadryl may interact with other meds that your pet is taking, so do not use it without first consulting your veterinarian. You should also use extreme caution using Benadryl in dogs that have glaucoma, prostatic disease, cardiovascular disease or hyperthyroidism.

My 97 pound dog has allergies and the vet suggested one tablet of Benydrill. I would call your vet and see how much dosage to give for a 7 pound dog before you give it.

Another thing that may help is find a dog food that is specifically formulated for dogs with allergies. Wellness simple plan works pretty good for mine.

I had that problem and they would itch real bad. i bought a cool humidifier and put about 1/2 teaspoon of salt in it. I run it continious on low. It may just be dry skin and this will help. If you give a benadryl wrap it in a piece of sandwich meat. If it gets hung in their mouth they will foam at the mouth like they have rabies. My cat did that. Talking about scary. Change the filter about every 3 weeks. My dogs and cats have stopped itching.

This is not a way out. Dogs allergies are rarely seasonal.
You have to find the cause of the problem.
Benadryl is like a bandage on a shot wound.

it says about 1/2 tablet per 10 lbs. call the vet to make sure

My vet gave me a bottle of some stuff, and I don't know what it was called. However, do check up with your vet.
