Pet House Candles for Dog Health

March 5, 2015 13 Comments

I have a slight candle obsession problem.

I was going to take a picture of all of my candles, but that proved to be too daunting of a task. I have at least twenty candles sitting around my house in different locations.

Bath and Body Works 2 for $22 candles get me every time. Every. Time.

When I heard about the soy Pet House Candles from One Fur All, I wasn’t sure I wanted to give these a try. I had this idea in my head that soy candles wouldn’t burn well and wouldn’t have the delightful smell I’m used to. I had recently read about potential health hazards of traditional paraffin candles, so I figured this would be a step in the right direction. While I knew about potential hazards to my health, I didn’t even think about my dogs. (Wow, Kelsie.)

Pet House Candles

Soy candles, which are made from soy beans, are a natural way to scent your home. Traditional paraffin candles are made from petroleum oil which increase the CO2 levels in your home. Not surprisingly, soybeans burn much cleaner than petroleum oil.

Paraffin candles release a petro-carbon soot that stains your walls, furniture and is circulated through your air ducts. This soot, according to the American Lung Association, contains 11 documented toxins, two of which are known carcinogens — toluene and benzene. – Dawn Thull, Green Promise

Did you know that regular candles can not only be damaging to your health, but your dog's as well? Pet House Candles have a great, pet-friendly alternative to traditional paraffin candles.

Soy candles not only burn cleaner, but longer as well. While a soy candle might be a little bit more expensive, you can expect it to burn around twice as long! These candles also release their scent much more gradually than paraffin. This allows a nice, even fragrance throughout your home.

Pet House Candles are specially formulated for homes with pets. These soy candles contain an odor neutralizer and are scented with essential oils. Remember I said I thought they wouldn’t smell as nice? I was wrong. This candle smells ah-mazing. Currently, the company has three scents: Fresh Citrus, Lavender Green Tea, and Pumpkin Spice. I tried the Lavender Green Tea scent and it is so relaxing – it makes me want to take a nice, soothing bath.

Mauja agrees - soooo relaxing

One Fur All also supports rescue and adoption through various fundraising opportunities. That’s something I can definitely get behind.

Tell me your thoughts! Have you tried soy candles? Are you going to give Pet House Candles a try?

Jones Natural Chews: Christmas Covered

November 18, 2014 12 Comments

I have a strict no Christmas before Thanksgiving rule. We don’t decorate the house or listen to Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the season, I just like to give the other holidays their time!

That rule went out the window when I was contacted by Flea from Jones Natural Chews to do a review on their Christmas treats. [Read more…] about Jones Natural Chews: Christmas Covered

Mauja Gets it Her Way with pawTree

September 4, 2014 29 Comments

Dog food.

Natural, organic, grain free, raw, freeze dried…

Is there anything more confusing?

I prefer to make sure Mauja and Atka aren’t limited to one type of food. Mauja tends to get bored pretty easily and I don’t blame her. Why would she want to eat the same food day in and day out? It’s my goal to ensure that the pups get plenty of healthy variety, but I definitely have my favorites for them. [Read more…] about Mauja Gets it Her Way with pawTree

Bravo! Crunchy Delights

The listening skills of a Great Pyrenees are beyond abysmal. They were bred to work independently from humans so they aren’t like most dogs. The won’t listen because they want to please you; you have to give them a reason.

Usually, a tasty treat can convince a pyr that what you are asking is worth doing. Keep in mind, I said usually. Many times the treats simply aren’t ‘good enough’ for them to pay attention. I’m always trying to find that irresistible treat that can grasp their attention when I really need it. [Read more…] about Bravo! Crunchy Delights

PetAlive – The Natural Way

PetAlive by Native Remedies
PetAlive by Native Remedies

Recently, I was given the opportunity to try a few products from PetAlive by Native Remedies. PetAlive has a wide variety of homeopathic remedies for dogs, cats, horses, and small pets.  Their list of products is really quite extensive.

I’m not a fan of drugging my dogs, or myself for that matter. I prefer to find a natural treatment when possible. As I scanned through the list of homeopathic treatments, I knew exactly what I was looking for: a calming agent for Mauja. [Read more…] about PetAlive – The Natural Way

Keep Your Dog Safe this Fourth of July

June 30, 2014 18 Comments

This weekend we spent a lot of time discussing how to keep our dogs safe and out of mischief this week. I’m going to be honest. I have no idea how Independence Day is going to go for us. Mauja has only experienced fireworks one other time. Aside from a little extra panting and drooling, she did great. We wanted to make sure we would be home for her first experience just to be safe, so we decided to forgo the festivities last year. You can see how enthused she was 😉

Flea and Tick Control Can Be Exhausting

June 6, 2014 13 Comments

DSC_0371pic

As the warm weather approaches, many of us are becoming more concerned about flea and tick control. We’re spending more time outside and the temperature is becoming a breeding ground for fleas. Ever since Mauja and Kaeto got fleas two years ago, I have been searching for a better method to keep Mauja and Atka flea free. We had been using a big name topical treatment and it failed on us one month. I noticed Kaeto itching and found little bits of flea dirt on his fur. It took three months of baths, medication, and vacuuming several times a day to get rid of the fleas in the house. It was a disaster. [Read more…] about Flea and Tick Control Can Be Exhausting
