Small amounts of honey are safe for dogs and may even have some health benefits. However, honey is high in sugar and should only be given sparingly. Too much sugar contributes to obesity, diabetes, and dental issues in dogs. Raw honey may also contain botulism spores, which are rare but dangerous. A teaspoon of honey is plenty for most dogs. Diabetic, overweight, or dental-issue prone dogs should avoid honey.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.
When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.
It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.
Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
