Offer only a tiny amount of plain honey on rare occasions. The sugar load may cause GI upset; frequent amounts add calories quickly. Avoid entirely for puppies, kittens, and immunocompromised pets due to potential botulism spores.
Honey is a concentrated sweet syrup made by bees from flower nectar, sold raw, filtered, whipped, or flavored. It is mostly sugar by weight.
Used in tea, baking, marinades, and desserts. Also appears in granola bars, cereals, and sauces.
Flavored honeys may include cinnamon, citrus, or other ingredients. Honey is used in granola bar binders, cereal coatings, and glaze marinades alongside other sweeteners.
