Local Vet Prescribes Honey for Dog with Sore Throat.

First Honey Sale for Dog.

I’m excited to sell my first jar of honey for medicinal purposes. My neighbour, Oscar, was suffering from the common cold and a nasty sore throat that kept him up all night coughing a few days ago. His vet prescribes honey. After a couple of days of swallowing teaspoonfuls of neat honey, Oscar is soon in better trim. I notice him walk past the gate this morning with his owner Madeline.

NHS Guidelines Advise Doctors to Prescribe Honey for Humans.
