pets and candles

As pet owners ourselves, we began this journey of candle making with our pets safety in mind. We wanted to make sure any products we used would be safe for our pups.

While candles generally don’t pose a significant health risk for dogs, there are a few hazards to be aware of. When shopping for pet-safe candles, look for;

  • Candles that use natural soy wax, coconut wax, beeswax, or vegetable-based wax over paraffin wax (which contain more respiratory irritants)
  • Soy, beeswax, and coconut candles do not burn with toxins and are environmentally friendly. They burn cleanly and safely without risk.
  • Candles that use an unbleached 100% cotton wicks (lead wicks can be toxic).
  • Candles that contain phthalate free fragrances.
  • Candles around children and pets should always be in a safe area where they cannot be reached. 

At PC Candle Company, we use only natural coconut-soy wax and the highest quality phthalate-free fragrance oils, along with  100% cotton wicks. Our products are also dye-free, making them entirely safe to burn around your furry friends.
