Can my dog eat raw honey?

Yes, dogs can generally eat raw honey in moderation. Raw honey has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, and it can be a soothing remedy for dogs with minor throat irritation or cough. However, it's essential to offer honey in moderation and ensure it is given in its pure form without any additives such as preservatives or artificial sweeteners.

Also, be mindful of the dog's overall diet and calorie intake. Honey is high in sugar, so excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and other health issues. Additionally, puppies under the age of one should not be given honey because their immune systems are not fully developed, and there is a risk of botulism.

Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods, including honey, into your dog's diet, especially if your dog has any underlying health conditions or allergies.
