When can you give a dog Benadryl, is an excellent question. If you’re not used to giving your pet medication, then you’re not going to be sure when a good time would be.
The first thing you’re going to want to know is if Benadryl is a good fit for your dog; but assuming that it is, you’ll want to give the medicine to your dog during feeding times. The best way to achieve this is to put the medicine in with their food; wet food, if you’re used to serving them dry food; they will think that they’re getting a treat. Another way is to put the medicine into a piece of meat and feed it to them.
In most cases, like humans, the best times to give your dog medicine, is after they eat. Waiting at least 15 minutes will give their system time for the food to begin to digest. This will also decrease the chances of side effects.
