If you share your home with pets, you’ll know they are much more than animals — they are part of the family.
For me, home isn’t complete without Rosie running around and Daisy finding her favourite sunny spot. That’s why creating a welcoming home also means thinking carefully about the products we bring into our spaces.
Many of us love using candles and wax melts to make our homes feel cosy, fresh and inviting, but when you have pets it’s important to use home fragrance thoughtfully.
Can you use wax melts around pets?
The answer is that many pet owners do use candles and wax melts in their homes, but it’s important to always follow safety guidelines.
Pets have a much stronger sense of smell than we do, so what feels like a gentle fragrance to us may be much more noticeable to them.
Always make sure your home is well ventilated and avoid placing wax warmers somewhere your pets can reach.
Keep wax warmers safely out of reach
The biggest risks with wax melts are often not the fragrance itself, but the hot wax and heat source.
To enjoy your wax melts safely:
- Keep your wax warmer on a stable surface
- Place it somewhere pets and children cannot knock over
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Keep melted wax away from curious paws and tails
- Follow the safety instructions provided with your product
Choosing quality home fragrance
When buying candles and wax melts, it’s important to choose products from businesses that follow the correct safety requirements.
In the UK, responsible candle and wax melt makers should provide CLP labels on their products. These labels include important information about ingredients, fragrance allergens and any required safety warnings.
All of our wax melts and candles are made using carefully selected fragrance oils and 100% soy wax, with safety information provided on every product.
A cosy home that includes everyone
I love that fragrance can completely change the feeling of a room.
A fresh scent can make your home feel clean and bright, while warmer fragrances can make an evening feel cosy and relaxing.
Having pets doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy those little home rituals — it just means using them thoughtfully and creating a space that feels comfortable for everyone who lives there.
From our home to yours, we hope you enjoy creating beautiful moments with fragrance.
