How Does Diphenhydramine Work?
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that counter-acts the effects of histamine which causes itching and sneezing. It has a side effect of drowsiness which can help aid in tranquilizing.
Side Effects and Warnings
Common side effects are drowsiness and dry mouth. Your pet may also develop urinary retention. Other side effects that are less common include diarrhea, vomiting and lack of appetite. If any symptoms appear to distress your animal, contact your veterinarian. Always tell your veterinarian all the medicines your pet is on before adding new medications.

Do not use if cat or dog is pregnant or nursing. Do not administer to pets suffering from glaucoma, high blood pressure, urinary obstruction, and prostate disease. Use with caution when given with other CNS (central nervous system)-depressant drugs such as tranquilizers or barbiturates.

Use caution when used in conjunction with CNS depressants, heparin, warfarin, and epinephrine.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 helps when there are fireworks New years eve and 4th of July, we have a lot of fireworks that scare my dogs, I have given them benadryl for years to calm them down. Glad there is now a pet equivelant available. April 21, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 Great but dosage is high This product brought immediate relief and was excellent; however for cats, it is a dosage that is too high. Recommended dosage is about 1 mg per pound. At 25 mg., this product needs to be given in half quantities for the 12 pound cat. November 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 Works for Humans and Pets This medicine is just like benadryl (close to having the same ingredients I think) and I use it sometimes when I am out of my regular prescription meds. It also help my little guy as well. I notice he scratches less and his eyes doesn't tear as much. It cost the fraction of what benadryl costs. The directions of the bottle are intended for humans.

Rated 5 out of 5 Very pleased I was very pleased with the internet service and ease of ordering from PetCare. I would recommend them. May 24, 2008
Rated 5 out of 5 Tried and True I like this medication because it has been around for years, is effective in treating allergies in my dogs, and the price is reasonable. There are so many potential side effects in some of the other newer antihistamines, like Atarax, it's comforting to know my dogs can get the same relief with less risk and cost. March 9, 2008
