Sniff Pet Candles Offer Aromatherapy for Dogs

June 5, 2011 by SandraW

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.

Looking for pet supplies, toys, food or gift ideas? Check these out.

Book Review: The No-Brainer Brain Explainer

Human brains are pretty amazing, allowing us to think, feel, create, communicate, move and more. But humans aren’t the only animals with cool brains, as Crab Museum explains in the book The No-Brainer Brain Explainer (illustrated by Bruno Valasse).

This book, aimed at kids in grades 1-4, is colorful and silly but also educational about how brains actually work, with billions of neurons sending electrical and chemical signals around the body.

“Everything we think, feel and experience comes from an electrical relay race, with neurons passing chemical batons to each other,” the book says. “The constant chatter of billions of brain cells creates your entire world.” 

The book compares the brains of mammals to those of crabs (the book is “written” by a crab after all) and notes that crabs have fewer neurons and of course are much smaller, but they have separate parts of their brains that control their eyes and their legs. Crabs are also capable of remembering things, using tools and solving puzzles. 

Some animals’ brains allow them to know more about their world in different ways from humans, such as spiders being sensitive to vibrations in their webs and catfish having an amazing sense of taste, with taste sensors all over their bodies. 

It notes that 95 percent of brain activity goes toward things we do unconsciously, like breathing, walking and catching a ball flying toward us. It also talks about dreams, memory, how our emotions try to predict the future, where brains came from and fun facts about brains. For example, did you know a sperm whale is believed to have the biggest brain of any creature that’s even lived? Their brains weigh 18 pounds, compared to just 2.5 pounds for humans. 

Information on what creatures have the smallest brains, the toughest brains, the most brains and those who actually eat their own brains will delight kids (and maybe gross them out a little bit). They’ll also enjoy learning about the mycelium network of fungi, which is like a brain without a body, and slime molds, which are like a brain without a brain. 

It ends talking about why human brains are so special because we’ve found ways to work together, communicate and build communities on a scale bigger than any other animal. 

Kids and adults alike will enjoy this colorful, silly and informational book about brains!

About the book: 64 pages, hardcover. Published 2026 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail price $19.99.
