Bee Pollen as a homeopathic remedy for my dog

My question is about using bee pollen as a homeopathic to potentially combat future reactions from bee stings. My dog has a terrible allergy to bee stings. It's such an awful thing to have when you're an active dog that likes frolicking in the grass and running on trails and inevitably encounters bees on a regular basis. She immediately has very strong symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness) and has to be rushed to the vet.

I'm a big believer in bee pollen and have been taking it regularly for years as a way to combat my own allergies with great results. I'm wondering if giving her a small amount daily might help her build up an immunity to bee stings in the future? If so, I'm wondering how much to give to a 20# dog?

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Hi Heather,
Great question. Unfortunately, giving your dog bee pollen will only help her develop an immunity to the pollens in the bee pollen product. Bee pollen doesn't have any bee venom in it whatsoever. Bee pollen does help regulate and balance the immune system so it might help her to not react as badly but I wouldn't take that to the bank! It certainly won't hurt to try but I understand your possible reluctance to 'experiment' with something like this on your dog. We do have many, many customers who give bee pollen to their dogs - we get reports of healthy, shiny coats, increased energy and vitality. Most dog foods are comprised of very low grade 'nutrition' and adding bee pollen to it will dramatically enhance the nutritional value.
