No scented candle is risk-free for every pet, but you can choose and use one with care. LUMI candles use 100% soy wax and synthetic, phthalate-free fragrance oil, and every product page lists its scent notes. Scents marked "Pet-friendly scent profile" are made without notes that veterinary poison centers put on their caution lists, such as eucalyptus, peppermint, citrus, cinnamon, clove, pine, cedarwood, lavender, wintergreen and tea tree. Current examples are Vanilla, Coffee Brew, Green Tea and Fresh Bamboo; the full list is in our pet guide. Scents with those notes carry a cat-and-bird caution instead. Whichever you choose: burn for limited periods in a well-ventilated room; keep candles, reed diffusers and refill oil where pets can't knock them over or lick them; never leave a flame unattended; and keep birds and pets with breathing problems out of the room. If oil or wax gets on fur, wash it off with mild dish soap. If your pet drools, vomits, coughs or seems wobbly, stop use, air out the room and call your veterinarian.
