Maybe dogs and cats are different in this aspect re: response to honey, but I would 
still use caution.  It is such a bad thing for human babies, that there are posters in 
every health department in both English and Spanish warning of the dangers of honey to 
human babies less than 1 year old.  I would personally use an alternative form of 
sweetner( if I had to use a sweetner), such as table sugar, but everyone has the right 
to use their own judgement.  Years ago, they also routinely used aspirin in pregnancy 
and now we know that can lead to tragic results.  For my own dogs, I will not use 
something that has the potential to cause a lot of harm if there are acceptable and 
safer alternatives.
