charbess Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I bought a jar of manuka honey to keep for emergeny application for boo-boos but I smeared some on their bowls last night in place of the usual peanut butter and they loved it. Is there anything contraindicated for giving it to them to eat? I am not aware of any allergies to bee stings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTRAWLD Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I don't believe that dogs can't have honey. I know mine love a drop or two off a spoon. It's one of the most healthy things for a person to have. I think in moderation, you are good to go.

Hawthorn Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Honey is basically sugar, with all the same negative health effects. A very small amount may not hurt, but it's not something I would give as treat myself except perhaps as a lick of a spoon now and then. Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocsDoctor Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I add a tiny bit of (relatively low grade) manuka honey to Doc's dinner each day, in the belief that it helps the old chap's digestive health and immune system. As Hawthorn says, if you are giving it as a treat, bear in mind that it is basically sugar, and don't overdo it! Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.
