Hello there, thanks for reaching out. It’s understandable to be concerned after realizing what your dog has ingested. Benadryl in itself is typically safe for dogs in the correct dosages and plain formulations, but there are a couple of important considerations here.
First, the grape flavoring is a worry because grapes (and raisins) can be toxic to dogs. They can cause kidney failure, even in small amounts for some pets. We don't know exactly how much grape extract is in the flavored Benadryl, but it could pose a risk.
The second concern is about the dosage and concentration. Make sure to check the Benadryl's packaging for the active ingredient diphenhydramine's concentration, as human formulations might differ significantly from what is safe for dogs.
At home, keep an eye on your dog for any signs of distress. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, excessive drooling, or decreased appetite and urination, as these might hint at a problem. If any of these symptoms appear, or if your dog seems unwell or unusual in any way, it’s crucial to seek veterinary attention immediately.
To ensure your pet's safety and health, consider scheduling a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can offer further guidance and peace of mind. Take care and give your furry friend a little extra love today!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
