A very small amount of honey (1 tsp twice a day) is fine for dogs- it does not really matter what kind. I would not use any more than that though because it is pure sugar and not the best treat for dogs. I prefer peanut butter if you want to give him a tsp if sowmhung yummy to lick at. Best wishes to you and Chewy.
