Is honey safe for dogs? The answer: it depends.
While honey has been proven to have medicinal properties -- with reports of some owners using honey to treat their dog’s allergies and as topical solution to burns, with success -- it’s not for every dog.
According to the American Kennel Club, giving raw honey to dogs can be dangerous to their health, especially dogs with compromised immune systems and puppies, which can be at risk of botulism.
On the contrary, raw honey can be given to dogs primarily for medicinal purposes. Compared to commercial honey, raw honey is unprocessed and unpasteurized. Aside from that, the Honey Bee Conservancy recommends feeding your dog raw honey that may contain small amounts of local pollen.
