Are Candles Safe for Pets? Why Non-Toxic Choices Matter
As pet owners, we want our homes to be warm, inviting, and safe for our furry companions. Candles can create a cozy atmosphere, but not all candles are created equal—especially when it comes to pet safety. Let’s explore the risks of traditional candles and why Burning Intentions’ non-toxic options are the best choice for pet-loving homes.
The Hidden Risks of Traditional Candles
Many mass-produced candles use ingredients that may harm your pets, including:
- Paraffin Wax: Releases harmful toxins like benzene and toluene, which can irritate your pet’s respiratory system.
- Synthetic Fragrances: Often loaded with chemicals like phthalates, which can affect air quality and your pet’s health.
- Metal Core Wicks: Some older or cheaper candles use wicks containing lead, which is toxic when inhaled or ingested.
These ingredients can create a hazardous environment for pets, making non-toxic alternatives a safer choice.
