Candles create a cozy, inviting atmosphere and fill our homes with delightful scents. At The Candlehound we understand that our canine companions are part of the family, and it's important to keep their safety in mind when enjoying your favorite candles. Here's a guide to ensure that both you and your furry friends can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of candles safely.
Safety Tips for Burning Candles Around Dogs
1. Choose the Right Candles
Pet-Safe Ingredients: Opt for candles made from natural, non-toxic ingredients like soy wax or beeswax. Avoid candles with lead wicks or synthetic fragrances, which can be harmful to dogs.
Essential Oils: Some essential oils, such as tea tree oil, cinnamon, and citrus oils, can be toxic to dogs. Always check the ingredients and choose candles with dog-safe scents.
2. Placement is Key
Out of Reach: Place candles on high shelves or in areas where your dog cannot easily knock them over.
Stable Surfaces: Ensure candles are on stable surfaces to prevent accidents.
3. Supervise and Extinguish
Never Leave Unattended: Never leave a burning candle unattended, especially if you have a curious dog that might investigate the flickering flame.
Extinguish Properly: Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame, and ensure the wick is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
4. Use Alternatives
Flameless Options: Consider flameless LED candles for a worry-free ambiance.
Wax Warmers: Wax warmers can provide a lovely scent without the risk of an open flame.
