I know you can give dogs Benadryl for their allergies. Any idea on how much the dosage is per their weight?

I forgot to come back and say I found it.
quote:
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an anti-histamine medication that's given to dogs to treat allergic reactions that include itching and swelling. The most common Benadryl dosage for dogs is 1 mg per each 1 pound of body weight, therefore a 20-pound dog would receive a 20 mg dose of Benadryl. Benadryl should be given to the dog every 12 hours. Drowsiness is the most common side-effect seen in a dog who has been given Benadryl.
