Are our products Pet Friendly?

What Does "Pet Friendly" Mean?

At HiKo Scented Wax, as part of our Pet Smells, Be Gone!™ range, we prioritise the safety of your furry friends. That’s why we carefully select every ingredient in our products to ensure they are free from substances known to harm pets. This allows us to confidently market our products as pet-friendly home fragrances.

However, it’s important to understand that "pet-friendly" doesn’t mean the same thing for every species or individual animal. Here’s what you need to know:

Special Considerations for Certain Pets

While our products are designed to be safe for dogs and cats, we strongly advise against using home fragrance products—including ours—around rodents, reptiles, and house birds. These animals have highly sensitive respiratory systems, and the use of any home fragrance product in the same room can cause discomfort or health issues. To limit risks, use of home fragrance products should be confined to rooms that these species of animals do not have access to. 

Monitoring Your Pets for Sensitivities

Even with pet-friendly ingredients, every animal is unique, and it is therefore impossible to guarantee that every single dog and cat will be fine with our products. Just as some humans can have allergic reactions to "human-safe" products, some pets may react differently to pet-friendly wax melts or other odour eliminators too.
We recommend carefully monitoring your pets when using any new product in your home. Look for signs of irritation, such as sneezing, coughing, or skin discomfort, especially if your pet has pre-existing health issues like respiratory or skin conditions. Seek veterinary advice if you suspect an adverse reaction and provide the vet with the packaging to the products used they have access to the CLP label of ingredients to inform their treatment advice. 

Our Commitment to Your Pets

We’re dedicated to helping you maintain a fresh and welcoming home without compromising your pet’s wellbeing. While our products are carefully formulated to be as safe as possible, we encourage you to use them responsibly and with care, ensuring the best environment for all your beloved pets.
