Having pets means experiencing the joy they bring to our lives, even if it means dealing with a few muddy paw prints, garden adventures, and extra fur on the couch! Their happiness and well-being are essential, and it’s all part of the wonderful journey of sharing our homes with them.
Animals have a heightened sense of smell, so we need to pay more attention when using scenting machines, room sprays, oil burners, or a fragrance diffuser. Let’s take a closer look at the top pet-friendly scenting options for your home.
Reed Diffusers
Reed diffusers paired with subtle aromas can provide a slow and steady scent to a room without causing any discomfort to your pet. When choosing a fragrance, look for options that contain pet-safe ingredients. It is also important to place the diffuser out of your pet’s reach to prevent them from accidentally knocking it over or eating the contents.
Room Sprays
When using a room spray, give only a gentle misting high into the air for a burst of freshness. Avoid spraying the room fragrance towards your pet or over their bed or blanket as they’re likely to rest there. It’s also a good idea to consult with a fragrance expert about pet-friendly scents.
Fragrance Burners and Scent Machines
Both of these scent products deliver a higher concentration of scent into the air, so it’s imperative you use them carefully. When using a fragrance burner, use pet-safe essential oils, such as chamomile and lavender. Place the burner in a well-ventilated part of the room and out of your pet’s reach.
You can programme Scent machines to release a controlled amount of scent at regular intervals. If you are concerned about the effect of the aroma on your pet, opt for smaller doses less frequently. Speak to the friendly team at Scent.ology for more advice on the most suitable settings.
