L & E Candle Co only uses Dog Safe essential oils but does not mean you should not watch your pets' behavior while being introduced to new scents. Every Dog is different and if any reaction should occur please speak to a vet.

Essential oils that are safe for dogs also have certain health benefits that can help your dog/pets with anxiety, calming and boosting their immune systems. Not only do our candles have great scents but are also safe to have in your home.

Why We Chose to Do Soy Wax Candles

First off, you get a longer lasting candle as soy wax burns slower than paraffin wax. Soy wax is environmentally friendly (Made from Soybeans), renewable resource, unlike paraffin, a by-product of petroleum and non-renewable carrying chemicals that are harmful to everyone. Soy Wax does not require chemicals that Paraffins require to produce fragrance through essential oils.
