If you have a puppy, consult with your vet. - For canines, only the pure medication is safe, where the only active ingredient is Diphenhydramine; the Decongestant and Colds/Sinus versions are unacceptable. - Liquid Benadryl has high alcohol content, which is unsafe for animals. - Children's Benadryl is alcohol/sugar-free, but it contains sodium – this is a concern for dogs with some health concerns. - It should not be used together with painkillers and decongestants. It may interact with other medications, and may even be fatal. If your dog or cat is taking anything else – do ask your veterinarian.
