🍂 Your Fall Scents Could Be Hurting Your Pet
✨ What smells cozy to you… can make them sick.

It’s fall. The air smells like cinnamon, clove, and apple cider.
Candles flicker, wax melts hum — and your pet is struggling to breathe.

Those “cozy” scents often hide phthalates, benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde — toxins that can trigger liver failure or seizures in cats and dogs.
Even “natural” essential oils like cinnamon, clove, citrus, pine, eucalyptus, and tea tree can poison pets.

🐾 Here’s the truth:
Pets process oils differently.
They breathe closer to the floor, where fumes are heaviest.
And the symptoms — drooling, hiding, vomiting, labored breathing — are often mistaken for allergies.

💡 What to do:
• Burn candles only in ventilated spaces — never where pets sleep.
• Avoid diffusers around cats entirely.
• Choose pet-safe candles (soy, beeswax, no synthetic fragrance).
• If they show signs of distress → Vet. Immediately.

Your cozy fall vibe shouldn’t come at their expense.
Keep the warmth. Lose the toxins.
— 🐶 Your best friend who can’t tell you they’re hurting
