Sniff Pet Candles Offer Aromatherapy for Dogs

by

Jenn Mohr combined her love of candles and dogs by creating an aromatherapy candle line for dogs called Sniff Pet Candles.

Apparently the candles will “promote your dog’s optimum health and well-being”. They’re made with all natural ingredients like essential oils, soy wax, beeswax and palm wax.

Also, a portion of the sales from Sniff Pet Candles goes to a coalition of animal rescue groups that help reduce the number of homeless animals.

Some of the Scents from Sniff Pet Candles

“Fart & Away” contains floral ylang ylang, tuberose, white tea, myrtle and fennel. It’s supposed to ease a dog’s gassy condition as well as help cover up the scent. “Splendor in the Grass” will give your dog sweet dreams of past walks in the park and is scented like fresh cut grass, hay and cedar wood trees.

I’m just glad that there aren’t other less appealing smells that only dogs seem to like. The sorts of scents from Sniff Pet Candles seem like compromises so that both dog owners and pets are happy.
