PET SAFETY ADVISORY
At Set Forth, we value the safety and well-being of your entire household, including your beloved pets. While our candles are crafted with premium-quality, phthalate-free, and cruelty-free fragrance oils that adhere to strict RIFM and IFRA safety standards, it’s essential to consider the unique sensitivities of pets to fragrance products. Below are guidelines and considerations to ensure your furry friends stay safe:
Ingredients and Safety Standards
- Fragrance Oils: Our fragrances are a combination of natural essential oils and synthetic aroma chemicals. They are paraben-free, phthalate-free, vegan-friendly, and Leaping Bunny certified.
- Non-Toxic When Used as Intended: Our fragrance oils are non-toxic when used as intended in candle making.
- Allergen Considerations: While our fragrance oils do not contain common allergens such as nuts, eggs, or dairy, we cannot guarantee that they are produced in allergen-free facilities.
Pet Sensitivities
- Individual Reactions Vary: Each pet reacts differently to fragrance oils. Some animals, particularly cats, dogs, and birds, may have heightened sensitivities to fragrances, even if they are considered safe for general use.
- Bird Safety: Birds, in particular, have highly sensitive respiratory systems and can be adversely affected by airborne particles, including fragrance oils. We recommend keeping candles and other fragranced products away from birds entirely.
Recommendations for Use
1. Ventilation: Always burn candles in well-ventilated areas to minimize potential irritation for pets.
2. Monitor Behavior: Observe your pets for any unusual symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, vomiting, or lethargy. If you notice any adverse reactions, extinguish the candle immediately and consult a veterinarian.
3. Keep Out of Reach: Ensure that candles are placed out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion or burns.
4. Consult Your Veterinarian: If you have concerns about specific fragrances or ingredients, consult your veterinarian. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for our candles are available upon request.
Allergy and Sensitivity Disclaimer
While our candles are crafted with care and the highest quality ingredients, we cannot guarantee they will not trigger sensitivities in pets. If your pet has known allergies or sensitivities, we recommend avoiding fragranced products altogether or consulting with a veterinarian before use.
