Is honey safe for dogs?

Pure honey is generally safe for most adult dogs when given in appropriate quantities.

It's essential to choose the right type and understand the proper portion sizes. Furthermore, it should never be given to puppies under one year old, as their immune systems are not fully developed.

Which types are the best?

The safest options for dogs include raw and unprocessed honey that is free from additives, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners is the best choice.

Avoid processed honey that contains xylitol, artificial sweeteners, added flavours. Many store-bought options fall into these categories. Additionally, steer clear of mixtures with added nuts, chocolate, or other ingredients that may be harmful to pets.

How much should I give?

The safe amount depends on your dog's size and overall health:

• Small Dogs (under 10kg): No more than 1/4 teaspoon per day
• Medium Dogs (10-20kg): Up to 1/2 teaspoon per day
• Large Dogs (20kg+): Up to 1 teaspoon per day

These amounts should be given occasionally as treats, not daily.

Health benefits of honey

• It provides natural sugars that can give quick energy, making it beneficial for active or working dogs.
• It is rich in beneficial enzymes and prebiotics that support healthy digestion and gut flora.
• Additionally, the antioxidants and nutrients may help enhance overall immune function.

Important considerations

Always consult with your veterinarian before adding honey to your dog's diet, particularly if your pet has diabetes, is overweight, or has any underlying health conditions. Start with very small amounts to ensure your canine companion tolerates it well.
