HOME FRAGRANCE FOR PET-CONSCIOUS HOMES
Are Candles Safe Around Pets?
There isn’t one fragranced candle that can be guaranteed safe for every dog or cat. Pets can have individual sensitivities, which is why Einnim takes a pet-conscious approach instead of making a blanket safety claim.
That means considering the candle, the fragrance, where it’s burned, ventilation and most importantly how your individual pet responds.
WHAT PET-CONSCIOUS MEANS AT EINNIM
What Do We Mean by Pet-Conscious?
For Einnim, pet-conscious home fragrance means thinking beyond a marketing label.
Thoughtful Ingredients
We consider the materials and fragrance components used in our candles rather than relying on one ingredient to define the entire product.
Soy Wax
Einnim candles are poured with 100% soy wax. Wax choice is one part of a candle, but it isn’t the only factor to consider when using fragrance around pets.
Responsible Fragrance Use
Even a thoughtfully formulated candle should be used with ventilation, reasonable burn times and enough space between the candle and your pet.
Individual Pets Matter
Dogs and cats aren’t identical. Age, size, respiratory sensitivities and individual reactions can all influence how a pet responds to fragrance.
Burning Candles in a Home With Pets
A FEW GOOD HABITS
Keep It Out of Reach
Place candles where paws, tails and curious noses can’t reach the flame or hot wax.
Give the Room Airflow
Burn fragrance in a ventilated space rather than a tightly closed room.
Don’t Overdo It
Long burn times and strong fragrance can overwhelm a space.
Watch Your Pet
If your pet appears uncomfortable when fragrance is being used, extinguish the candle and give them access to fresh air.
Never Leave It Unattended
Keep an eye on any open flame, especially in a home with animals.
Homes With Dogs
Dogs have highly developed senses of smell, so fragrance that seems subtle to you may feel much stronger to them.
Give your dog room to move away from fragranced spaces and pay attention to changes in behavior while candles are burning.
Homes With Cats
Cats can also be sensitive to fragrance and airborne compounds.
Keep fragranced products away from areas where your cat eats, sleeps or can’t easily leave the room, and use extra care if your cat has known sensitivities.
This section also gives us natural relevance for pet safe candles for dogs and pet safe candles for cats without claiming either.
Are Soy Candles Better for Homes With Pets?
Soy wax is the foundation of Einnim candles, but we don’t believe the words “soy wax” alone make a candle appropriate for every pet.
When choosing home fragrance for a household with animals, consider the entire product and how it’s used, including fragrance ingredients, ventilation, burn time and your individual pet.
A Note for Pet Parents
Every animal is different. Einnim’s pet-conscious approach doesn’t mean any fragranced product can be guaranteed appropriate for every dog or cat.
If your pet has allergies, respiratory sensitivities or another health concern, talk with your veterinarian before introducing fragranced products into their environment.
FAQ
Pet Safe Candles
Are candles safe to burn around dogs? There isn’t one fragranced candle that can be guaranteed safe for every dog. Use candles in a ventilated space, keep them out of reach and pay attention to how your individual dog responds to fragrance.
Are candles safe to burn around cats? Cats can have individual sensitivities to fragrance and airborne compounds. Use candles thoughtfully, provide ventilation and make sure your cat can leave the fragranced area.
Are soy candles safe for pets? Soy wax is a candle base, but wax type alone doesn’t determine whether a candle is appropriate for a particular pet. Fragrance, ventilation, burn time and individual sensitivities also matter.
What candle scents should pet owners avoid? There isn’t a universal fragrance list that applies to every pet. Certain concentrated fragrance ingredients and essential oils may be inappropriate for some animals. If your pet has a known sensitivity or health concern, ask your veterinarian about specific ingredients.
How can I safely burn candles in a home with pets? Keep candles out of reach, maintain airflow, avoid excessive burn times, never leave an open flame unattended and stop using the candle if your pet appears uncomfortable.
