Well, you will be happy to know that with Benadryl you are now able to treat all the discomforts of your loving pet.

Benadryl is an FDA approved medicine and is highly recommended by veterinary doctors in order to treat allergies that are usually being diagnosed in your pet dogs. This anti-allergic medicine is found highly effective in dogs suffering from skin problems like itching, sleeplessness, motion sickness, stuffy nose and many more similar problems.

<b>COMMON REASONS TO USE BENADRYL IN DOGS</b><br />
<ul>
<li>vaccine reactions</li>
<li>insect stings and bites</li>
<li>some forms of allergic skin disease</li>
<li>inflammatory symptoms of mast cell tumors</li>
<li>reactions to blood transfusions</li>
<li>other allergic reactions</li>
<li>motion sickness</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>SIDE EFFECTS</b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The most common side effects of Benadryl in dogs include the following:
Drooling.
Excitability.
Drowsiness.
Rapid breathing.
Rapid heart rate.
Depression.
Side effects usually occur within an hour of taking the medication and are typically mild. If a dog experiences severe side effects, the animal needs immediate veterinary care. </span><br />
<br />
<b>OVERDOSE</b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Benadryl is a very safe drug for dogs, and it is unlikely that an owner would deliberately give a dog enough of the drug to be dangerous. Because dogs often eat things they should not, however, accidental overdose does happen.
This almost always occurs when a dog gets into a box or bottle of Benadryl. For example, an article in the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care describes the case of a young Labrador retriever that ate the equivalent of more than 16 times the maximum recommended dose of Benadryl and had to be hospitalized due to severe overdose symptoms.</span><br />
<br />
<b>SYMPTOMS OF BENADRYL OVERDOSE</b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Agitation.
Extreme drowsiness.
Aggression.
Abnormal heart rate.
Muscle tremors.
Increased body temperature.
Abnormal behavior.
Difficulty breathing.
Increased blood pressure. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Any owner who suspects his or her dog is suffering from a Benadryl overdose should contact a veterinarian immediately.
If the dog is having difficulty breathing, collapses, has seizures or develops other severe symptoms, the animal requires immediate emergency care.</span><br />
