Blog

I'm happy to share useful information below from training to medical to older dogs to feeding to ... well I tend to ramble so I've used bold headers so you can scan faster or use a control F search feature on your keyboard to find a word. I will attempt to organize this into categories. This blog is a work in progress so please bear with me. If you have a question you not see on our blog, please do contact us as you are probably not the only one and I will research and address it for you.

Honey for Dogs
Please note for allergy benefits buy locally collected pure honey as it will have been collected from regional plants species that are the root cause of many allergies in your 2 and 4 legged family members
Raw honey is used for many conditions in people and pets. It’s been shown to reduce healing time of skin conditions, relieve seasonal allergies, improve digestive health and even provide your dog a natural source of energy.

Vitamins, Minerals: Raw honey is naturally rich in minerals (like calcium, potassium, manganese, copper and many others) as well as vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E, and K.
Antioxidants: Honey is also filled with flavonoids, which are natural antioxidants which can purportedly help slow the aging process, prevent illness by, and preserve food. They serve an important role in pet health.
Simple Sugars: Raw honey contains simple sugars, like glucose and fructose. These are known as monosaccharides which are more easily absorbed than complex sugars (like the disaccharides and polysaccharides often found in processed sugar, starchy veggies, and other sources).
Kennel Cough: Just as raw honey provides relief to humans suffering from a cough or cold, it may also help your dog find relief from the dry, unproductive cough caused by bordatella or “kennel cough”. Honey helps coat the throat and helps to relieve coughing.
Allergy Relief: Raw honey is well known for its ability to relieve allergy symptoms. Honey works in much the same way as getting an allergy shot – minute exposure helps make you immune to specific allergies.
Improved Digestion: Raw honey doesn’t ferment in your dog’s belly, which helps to calm and coat their stomach lining.
Wound Care: There are many studies exploring the benefits of raw honey, Manuka honey and medical honeys for their roles in healing. Honey has proven to play a significant role in wound care by decreasing the time it takes to heal while preventing infection. Some scientists are even exploring the role of raw honey in treating antibiotic-resistant infections like MRSA, VRE, MDR-TB, and CRE.
Senior Pets: Many reports are emerging that show feeding dogs raw honey may improve mobility in arthritic dogs.
