When giving Benadryl to our dog for allergies, the recommended dosage is 2 to 3 mg per dog's weight in KG. Dog weighs 71 lbs or 31 kilograms. We have 25 mg Benadryl tablets, my wife nor I are math people, how many tablets should we give her?

It's a bit easier if you think of the dose as being 1 mg per pound of body weight. :) For my clients, I usually recommend rounding down to the nearest whole tablet size from there. So for a 71 pound dog, I would generally suggest giving 50 mg (which would be two 25 mg tablets).
