Anthocyanins consist of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that assist in combating cancer by stalling the growth of cancer cells, thereby enhancing memory and lessening age-related loss of brain function in older dogs along with providing assistance in protecting their heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blueberries contain compound pterostilbene, a powerful antioxidant that contains anti-tumour properties that prevents the extension of cancer cells.

Locally sourced honey can even assist in preventing seasonal allergies in dogs. It also slowly builds immunity to the allergy-causing pollen due to the presence of pollen spores in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#bedaec\" class=\"has-background\">If your pooch is diabetic or overweight, take the recommendation of your veterinarian as <strong>one tablespoon of raw honey<\/strong> contains roughly 17 grams of sugar and 70 calories.
