It can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/home-remedies-for-cough\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">soothe a cough<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and can contain valuable vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamins B2 and B3, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and calcium. But do these wellness perks extend to your four-legged friend? Or is it dangerous if your pup sneaks a taste? In moderation, honey can be beneficial for your dog&rsquo;s health&mdash;except for puppies and canines with certain health conditions because of its high sugar content. Before you share a spoonful of the sweet stuff, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to seek advice from a veterinarian. Here&rsquo;s what you should know about feeding honey to your pet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-honey-safe-for-dogs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is honey safe for dogs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey is safe for dogs when consumed in small quantities. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No more than 1 teaspoon of honey should be given at a time due to its high calorie and sugar content, said <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/liza-cahn-dvm-47824926a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liza Cahn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, DVM, a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington State.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it&rsquo;s always important to check with your veterinarian. Honey is unsafe for puppies (due to the risk of botulism) and for dogs with certain health conditions, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes or high blood sugar levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obesity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immune system issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bee allergies<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;Contact your vet before introducing new foods.

In rare cases, this can trigger reactions like hives, coughing, and shortness of breath (particularly in humans). Check with your vet if you notice any unusual allergic reactions in your dog after honey consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"benefits-of-honey-for-dogs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of honey for dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey has many nutritional benefits. It&rsquo;s a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5424551\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">source<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of protein, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and organic acids, nutrients that may benefit your dog&rsquo;s health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout history, honey has been recognized for its medicinal properties;&nbsp; it has been used to treat inflammation, stomach problems, sore throat, cough, and fever in humans. Additionally, honey is chock full of antioxidants, which reduce the damaging effects of free radicals. But, no scientific evidence suggests that the same results apply to dogs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;Honey has certain health benefits for humans, but the same is not necessarily true for dogs. As long as your dog is eating a WSAVA-compliant diet <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(World Small Animal Veterinary Association) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that is complete and balanced for their life stage, they will be getting all the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that they need,&rdquo; Dr. Cahn says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, dog owners may use honey as a home remedy for wounds. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8496555\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggest that honey helps with wound healing because of its antifungal and antimicrobial properties and its viscous nature, which acts as a protective shield when applied over an injury, thus preventing infection. Though there are many types of honey, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/simplyhoney.com.au\/manuka-honey-for-pets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manuka honey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is preferred for wound dressing because its antibacterial properties (which otherwise would have been removed during pasteurization) are intact.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ldquo;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manuka honey has shown particular benefits for treating minor wounds, kennel cough, or ear infections when used properly under veterinary supervision,&rdquo; says Dr. Ochoa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"risks-and-side-effects-of-honey-for-dogs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risks and side effects of honey for dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain dogs should not eat honey. &ldquo;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey should not be given to young puppies, immunocompromised dogs, those with bee allergies, diabetic dogs, or obese dogs,&rdquo; says Dr. Cahn. &ldquo;It may be given in moderation to other dogs, but due to the high natural sugar content, it can be associated with risks like weight gain, diabetes, tooth decay, and gastrointestinal upset such as diarrhea or vomiting.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She also adds that you should always check the packaging to ensure there are no harmful ingredients such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/xylitol-toxicity-in-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">xylitol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an artificial sweetener that causes dangerously low blood sugar for pets. Avoid feeding unpasteurized honey or raw honey to puppies or even adult dogs because it may contain <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">botulism spores or bacterial toxins that cause botulism&mdash;a fatal condition that causes paralysis in dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-honey-can-you-feed-your-dog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much honey can you feed your dog?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should only feed your dog about about 1 teaspoon of honey at a given time. &ldquo;Honey should only be given as an occasional treat, for example, to add flavor to homemade dog biscuits. In general, treats should not make up more than 10% of your dog&rsquo;s calorie intake,&rdquo; says Dr. Cahn. However,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it&rsquo;s a good idea to check with your veterinarian. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly important if your dog has metabolic conditions like diabetes or other underlying health issues. Your vet will determine if honey is a safe treat for your dog. Otherwise, it may be best to avoid it completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line? This sweet treat has minimal benefits for dog nutrition compared to humans. So, making it a regular part of your dog&rsquo;s diet is not a good idea. Instead, focus on healthy and appropriate dog treats and food.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For humans, honey has many health benefits.
