    1 to 2 mg per pound of body weight, never to exceed 4mg per pound. Start with two 25mg tablets and go from there. I'd personally never go over the 2 mg per pound dosage.

    You can give them up to 4 original benadryl tablets.

    My dog had an ear infection a couple weeks ago and the vet told us this.

    EDIT: She weighs 55lbs btw.

    My vet said an adult dose. The box says an adult can take 1 or 2, so I gave my dog two. He was fine.
