Can cats or dogs eat honey?
Cats: No ruling yet · Dogs: Can eat — For dogs, the AKC confirms honey is fine in small amounts, but it's very high in sugar — frequent treats risk weight gain, and diabetic dogs should skip it. Raw honey can carry botulism spores, so never give it to puppies or dogs with weakened immune systems. For cats, no major veterinary source has weighed in. A tiny dab once in a while. Never for puppies, diabetic dogs, or dogs with weakened immune systems.
