Can dogs eat manuka honey?

Manuka honey comes from the Manuka bush in New Zealand. It has the highest antibacterial properties of any honey and contains four times the nutrients of regular honey.
One teaspoon of honey contains 17 grams of sugar and 70 calories. Most dogs can tolerate and benefit from one teaspoon of honey daily. Here are some guidelines based on your dog's weight:
