The Vetadryl brand is only manufactured in a chewable tablet at this time. We are not aware of a 10 mg coated diphenhydramine tablet. Speak with your veterinarian for administration suggestions that may help your pet avoid the bitter taste of diphenhydramine.

Your response to another question on this page said Vetadryl did not require a prescription but I tried to purchase it and got a pop-up saying it did require a prescription. It's just [less than] 1/2 strength Benadryl so is your system incorrect? I was just able to purchase it from another website and was not asked for a prescription.?

i bought the Vetadryl 10250 for my cat for travel anxiety. I am confused about the amount to give hime. On the bottle the suggested use is 2-4 mg,but the table size is 10mg. If I cut it in half that would be 5mg and that is more than the recommended use. My cat is around 10 years old and weighs 12l bs. Should I give hime half a tablet? Thank you for your help. Lana?

The dosage is actually 2-4mg/kg so a 12 pound pet would get 10-20mg every 12 hours. Thank you, VetRxDirect

So I see that is says on the directions 2-4mg every 8-12 hours for allergy. I am not understanding how it is the same dose for every animal for one, and the also how in the heck to you break a 30mg or 10mg small tablet into 2mg or 4mg doses. The directions on that bottle make no sense at all to me.?
-
The instructions are to give 2-4mg/kg so if your pet is 10 pounds, it would get 10-20mg every 12 hours. Thank you, VetRxDirect
