Can I Give My Dog Hydroxyzine?
Ask your vet first
Hydroxyzine is used in dogs, but dosing decisions belong to your veterinarian. Prescription antihistamine for itching and allergic reactions, more sedating than OTC options. The amount comes from your vet.

About Hydroxyzine
Hydroxyzine is a prescription medication, dosed by your veterinarian for a specific diagnosis. Reference data on this page reflects published veterinary sources, not a prescription for your dog.
What to have ready when you call the vet
Whether you are confirming a dose or reporting that your dog already got into something, the call goes faster with four facts ready: your dog's current weight, the exact product name and strength from the label, how much was given or eaten, and roughly when. With those, most clinics can answer in one call.
The safe habit
Confirm any medication decision with your veterinarian, who knows your dog's health history and other medications. VetDose shows published reference data, not prescriptions.
