Answered by Dr. Christina Chambreau
Yes, you can give your dog Benadryl for allergies. It can be a temporary help in eliminating sneezing, runny eyes, itching, sleeplessness, and certainly can be given. The dosage is usually a milligram per pound but different dogs react differently to it and, again, it’s only temporary help.
What you should do instead of using Benadryl is to seek out one of the holistic treatments that can deeply cure your animal. This way, these symptoms you’re using Benadryl for never return and you never need to give Benadryl to your dog again. A holistic approach also means you won’t have any of the side effects that you would with Benadryl.
Holistic treatments that can help for itchiness, sneezing, or runny eyes would include things like Flower Essences, essential oils, and acupressure, which you can do yourself at home. Just pressing on the different points that you’ve learned through consulting Holistic Actions! Academy or various great websites on acupressure points for your dog. Hopefully, you’ll never have to turn to Benadryl again.
This is Dr. Christina Chambreau, licensed veterinarian faculty with Holistic Actions! Academy.
