- Where it comes from
- Apiaries.
- Why it's in the product
- Sweetener and binder in treats; beeswax as a texture agent in balms.
- Safety and toxicity
- Fine for healthy adult pets in small amounts. It is still sugar. Raw honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores, which is a real caution for very young puppies and immune-compromised pets, mirroring the human infant advice.
- Interactions and who should be careful
- Relevant for diabetic pets, as with any sugar.
