Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Honey would like to know if anyone is using honey for their dogs. Honey is wonderful for allergies. It is also helpful for inflammation. It is Important that the honey be local, organic, multi fauna (wild flower) and not be heat treated also know as raw honey. Heating changes the honey's natural components which destroy delicate enzymes. Local honey is best because it contains the specific pollens from your area that may sensitize which can lead a pet to have allergies. Honey's therapeutic properties hinder the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the dog’s digestive system. Live enzymes in raw honey help in the proper functioning of the dog’s digestive system. Daily dose of honey was proven beneficial to humans suffering from arthritis. Positive results have been seen in dogs too. Only adult dogs should be given honey. Also it raises sugar levels so no diabetics and can cause*obesity if given too much. |

| I've heard that local honey can be excellent to help with allergies and used to keep it when I had Scotty & then Jilly in case they had hypoglycemic episodes, which neither ever did. Wound up eating it myself on toast or biscuits. Many seem to swear by local honey.

| I love, love, love the therapeutic goodness of honey - both for our pups and for ourselves! If Harry's ever a bit unwell - a little honey licked off the end of my finger seems to make ALL ailments disappear. Apart from the 'normal' uses....apparently a teaspoon of it dissolved in a little warm water before going to bed actually helps break down fat! Woo hoo! Andy suffers from Diverticulitis, and one of the only things that helps keep it under control is a teaspoon of honey a day....he certainly notices the difference if he forgets it Sally x |
