What type of honey do you feed your dogs? Or do you feed your dogs honey at all? Much has been reported about the healing properties of
Manuka honey from New Zealand. I had a tiny jar of Manuka I purchased from Whole Foods (cost a small fortune, but again, it was Whole Foods) and I think it was only a 10+. Just received a new jar today from Amazon -
Watson & Son brand rated 20+ - which is supposed to be excellent for wounds and infections. I chose the
20+ due to Flash licking a wound open near his tail, and Evie, after having her foot in a cast developed a pressure sore that seems to have left a lingering infection. Even the FDA has come out and said Manuka honey is effective in treating infections such as MRSA.
I also have a jar of raw organic local honey that doesn't seem to have helped at all with Flash's wound. Yes, organic honey is somewhat of a misnomer (in the sense that you can't control where bees go to gather pollen - so paying for "organic" is silly)... but it's what was for sale and was raw, so I purchased it. Or is it possible the little jar of honey in the squeezy bear container any better or worse than the honey from New Zealand? Thoughts?
