Correct!

The answer is: Allergic reactions such as bee stings

Diphenhydramine HCL is more commonly known by the trade name Benadryl®, and veterinarians may use this drug in animals for allergic reactions such as bee stings. Serious allergic reactions may require more potent drugs.

As always, please consult with your veterinarian prior to giving your pet ANY medications, particularly human medications. Serious consequences may result from improper usage/dosage of any drug administered without veterinary approval.
