French Bulldog w/allergies - NuVET VS Benadryl ;

Question
My French bulldog not yet 1 year old, wheezes like she is not getting enough air.  During the winter months she snored a lot which is typical for the breed but the wheezing seems to have gotten worse with all the pollen floating in the air.  Can I give her Benedryl? Or is there something more natural?  Please help, I feel so bad for her.

Answer
Benadryl Canine dosage
Benadryl for French bulldog;  frenchies;

Benadryl for pets / dosages:
Hi Kim - Yes, I have some more natural options than Benadryl-  Many vets will refer you to Benadryl for short term usage.  ( 1-2 mg per pound of dog, every 6-8 hrs )  **** again, you don't want to use Benadryl too long.... Talk to you vet about this.

NEXT-  Yes- Fenchies are very prone to Seasonal Allergies!  Oh, Boy....
Here are some things you can do:

1.  Add a Dash ( Pinch ) of Garlic powder to at least, 1 meal per day - mix well.
Garlic is a natural antibiotic to keep away the sinus infections.  PLUS - helps to keep away the fleas, too!  ( don't get Garlic Salt, must be the powder)

2.  All my clients take 1 NuVET wafer per day :  NuVET is an allergy blaster in immune system booster ..... It helps to reduce inflammation that comes along with allergies.
I would give 1 1/2 wafers of NuVET per day all season - In the winter - cut down to just 1 NuVET per day.  NuVET is not sold in stores**** ONLY here at this link or thru some Holistic Vet offcies:
order here    ( 20.00; 39.00 and 55.00 bottles of this Wafer Treat / NuVET Plus)
http://www.nuvet.com/81098
( Again, NuVET helps to keep away the FLEAS ----- a big plus this time of year)

3.  ESTER C - you can get this at Walgreens or CVS - give (1) 250 mg daily - long term...
JUST for the Spring and Summer - daily.
Hide in some cheese or a Pill pocket wrap  ( PILL Pockets are sold at most pet stores)
Ester C is for Humans but pets can take it, too

I love to hear from pet owners once the dog starts on my NuVET Program
Give me a call in about 45 days with an up-date.
