1. Natural Allergy Relief:
If your dog suffers from seasonal allergies, raw honey may offer relief. Treephala’s honey, made primarily from Ayurvedic plants, contains trace amounts of multifloral pollen. This can help your pet build a tolerance to allergens, potentially reducing allergic reactions and keeping them comfortable throughout the year. Additionally, pollen in honey contains Quercetin, a naturally occurring polyphenol rich in antihistamines, which can alleviate symptoms like itchy, watery eyes.

2. Healing Wounds and Skin Irritations:
Treephala honey is effective for treating minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, scratches, and burns. It also helps with skin conditions like eczema, hot spots, and insect bites. Thanks to its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, raw honey speeds up healing and maintains your pet’s skin and coat health. Simply apply a thin layer to the affected area and cover it with a dressing to prevent your dog from licking it off.

3. Energy Boost:
The natural sugars in raw honey break down more slowly than processed sugars, providing a healthy energy boost. It’s a great option for athletic dogs to enhance vitality and endurance, or for senior dogs who need a little extra pep in their step. The anti-inflammatory properties of honey also make it beneficial for soothing arthritic joints, helping senior pets move more easily.

4. Digestive Health:
Treephala honey acts as a natural prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in your dog’s gut and aiding digestion. It can soothe minor bouts of diarrhoea or upset stomach caused by something as simple as eating grass. Honey may also help manage gastrointestinal conditions like colitis, gastritis, bacterial overgrowth, and irritable bowel disease. For more serious issues, such as stomach ulcers, honey’s natural antibacterial properties can be beneficial, though it’s important to consult a vet to determine the best treatment.

5. Cough Suppressant:
If your dog is suffering from kennel cough or other respiratory issues, honey can provide much-needed relief. A spoonful of Treephala honey can soothe a sore throat and suppress coughing due to minor throat irritations, offering your pet sweet relief.

At Treephala, we believe in the healing power of nature and are dedicated to ensuring that our raw honey offers the best care for your canine companions.

When to avoid feeding honey to dogs
While honey offers numerous health benefits, it’s important to remember that, like any human food, it isn’t suitable for all dogs and can be harmful if given in large amounts. Before introducing this sweet treat to your pet’s diet, several factors should be carefully considered.
For instance, honey should be avoided for diabetic and overweight dogs, as its natural sugars can negatively impact their health. Additionally, it’s advisable not to give honey to puppies or senior dogs with weakened immune systems, as their bodies may not be equipped to handle it safely. If in doubt please consult your vet.

Dosage & Precautions
Honey can be a safe and enjoyable treat for dogs when given in moderation, but it shouldn't become a staple in their diet. While Treephala honey offers numerous benefits, it's essential to adhere to the following precautions to ensure your pet's safety:

1. Moderation:
Due to its high sugar content, honey should only be offered in small quantities. Here’s a general guideline:

• Small dogs (under 20 pounds): ¼ teaspoon per day
• Medium dogs (20-50 pounds): ½ teaspoon per day
• Large dogs (over 50 pounds): 1 teaspoon per day

2. Diabetic and overweight dogs:
Avoid giving honey to dogs with diabetes or overweight as its sugar content can exacerbate their condition.

3. Puppies and Immunocompromised Dogs:
Raw honey may contain botulism spores, which can be harmful to puppies and dogs with weakened immune systems. Always consult your vet before introducing honey to these pets.

4. Allergic Reactions:
When introducing honey, do so gradually to monitor for any allergic reactions. If any signs of an allergic response occur, discontinue use immediately and seek veterinary advice.
