Alleviation of Allergies
Raw honey that comes from a local hive will still have trace amounts of pollen in it. If your dog has allergies to the pollen, the pollen in local honey will acclimatize your dog to the pollen in the air without triggering your dog's allergies. This can be especially helpful for breeds that have respiratory issues and that are hit especially hard by airborne irritants.
Increased Energy
Giving your dog a spoonful of honey is a good way to give it a natural burst of energy. Unlike processed sugar, honey will provide your dog with sugars that its body can break down gradually. This can be a natural, healthy way to increase your dog's activity level.
Better Digestion
Raw honey has been pre-digested by bees and as such, contains live enzymes. These live enzymes will help the dog digest its food. Processing the honey will kill off these enzymes, and destroy the health benefits for the dog.
Antibacterial Properties
The live enzymes in raw honey kill off harmful microbes and bacteria. Raw honey can be used topically to care for a wound or it can be ingested to help curb an infection. Feeding raw honey to dogs keeps them healthier and more capable of fighting off illnes

Honey is truly an amazing substance with numerous benefits not only to humans but also to human’s best friends. Some canines would react negatively to some human foods but not with honey. Apart from being easily digestible, canines are inherently not allergic to honey. Just as with any human food given to pets, honey too must be given to the dog in moderation. Feeding the dog more than a teaspoon of honey everyday can have adverse effects on the health of the pet. Honey, despite its healthful benefits can result to diarrhea. Too much honey can result to the obesity of the dog. Dog owners must be aware of the fact that honey and puppies would be a dangerous combination. This sweet substance can contain botulism spores that can be tolerated by a mature dog’s immune system but not by puppies with under developed immune systems.
I hope I helped :3

you're gaining weight becuase you're eating too many energy than you're burning off on your day. in case you're eating too plenty honey, then that's in all probability contributing on your weight benefit. yet honey isn't undesirable for you and it won't make you strengthen taller. Your genetics administration what top you will finally end up being not unavoidably the foodstuff you consume. Malnutrition can result you not attaining your maximum top yet eating particular ingredients does not make it achieveable so you might strengthen any taller than you already ought to.

I give my dog one teaspoon of honey only when he has a cough. You can mix it directly in with his food. I also mix some warm water in with it, just so it doesn't lump together.
