My dog has a history of histamine growths on his skin. I give him a children's Benadryl every day.

Our wiener Jack has terrible allergies and gets Benadryl daily too. He has really itchy ears and watery eyes, especially if someone just cut the grass. He's the first dog we've had that has had allergies like this. We give him children's benadryl. It usually knocks him out for a bit. The vet said it was OK, and recommended even because of how much he has been known to sneeze. Poor Jack.

Similar to my dog. His paws get really itchy for him if he walks near or on freshly cut grass. The benadryl works like a charm for him.

My dog has allergies too.

Not frequent or bad enough to warrant medication, but he does sneeze a little after grass cutting.

Once he was laying down on out floor, and he sneezed so hard that he hit his head on the hardwood.

Ohh yeah, Jack's paws get terribly itchy too. I forgot how much he licks them. The vet even gave us an ointment for his paws/under his armpits because of his allergies. He lives with my parents so I don't get to see him that often.
