A small lick is safe. It is pure sugar — too much causes obesity and tooth issues; never for diabetic pets.
Short answer
Yes, a teaspoon of honey is generally safe for a healthy dog. It's pure sugar, so feeding it regularly can lead to weight gain and dental problems. Never give honey to a dog with diabetes. Watch for signs like vomiting or diarrhea, and contact your own vet if you see them.
