Why Candle Ingredients Matter Around Pets

Pets have a heightened sense of smell and are closer to the floor—where candle fumes tend to settle. That’s why avoiding synthetic ingredients and strong fragrances is key. Many traditional candles contain paraffin wax, which can release toxins like benzene and toluene. Not great for your pet—or you.

How to Use Candles Safely in a Pet Household

Always burn candles in a draft-free space that’s out of paw’s reach.
Use wide, stable containers to avoid tipping or spills.
Never leave a candle unattended, especially around curious cats or dogs.
Swap traditional candles for alternatives like Candle Sand that let you create ambiance—without the worry.
