What You Need to Know
Plain graham crackers contain whole wheat flour, sugar, honey, and cinnamon — none acutely toxic in small amounts. A small piece shared accidentally is unlikely to cause harm. However the sugar content is significant and there is no nutritional benefit for dogs. S'mores-style graham crackers add chocolate which is toxic. Honey Maid and similar brands are fine in the sense of not being immediately dangerous, but should not be given intentionally.
