Independence was the farthest point westward on the Missouri River where steamboats or other cargo vessels could travel, due to the convergence of the Kansas River with the Missouri River approximately six miles west of town, near the current Kansas-Missouri border.
Honey Benefits for Dogs. Honey benefits dogs in numerous ways. Topically it heals wounds. Internally, it provides numerous sources of nutrients, such as vitamins A, B complex, C, D, E and K, plus minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and more. It helps dogs with allergies, fights infections, and helps with digestive problems.
My dog has a condition referred to as tracheal collapse that causes him to cough (can be common in Westies and other small breeds). A vet on the internet demonstrated mixing lemon with honey and injecting the honey into the dogs mouth with a syringe. I tried it and my dog actually likes the taste once its in his mouth. It relieves my dogs cough. So, even though the dog wonât lick honey out of a bowl, he seems to like it once its in his mouth and it really seems to sooth his cough. The vet said its ok to use the syringe with Robitussin DM in my dogâs case, but I am avoiding this and using the honey-lemon mix instead with good results. Lynn
