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.
