If we were to ask all the dog lovers out there in AHAland to identify themselves, there'd be a lot of hands in the air. But whether you're a pet owner or simply a fan of Shiba Inus, today's products should smell nice: aromatherapy candles that not only benefit pooches, but improve the lives of less fortunate pups all over the U.S (more on that in a minute).

If we were to ask all the dog lovers out there in AHAland to identify themselves, there'd be a lot of hands in the air. But whether you're a pet owner or simply a fan of Shiba Inus, today's products should smell nice: aromatherapy candles that not only benefit pooches, but improve the lives of less fortunate pups all over the U.S (more on that in a minute).

Sniff candles are specially formulated with natural essences that improve your dog’s health and wellbeing. Given canines’ hyper-developed senses of smell—the part of their brain that processes olfactory experiences is 40 times larger than ours—it’s hardly surprising that they’d respond well to aromatherapy. But never fear, Sniff candles do not smell of liver or dirty fire hydrants. 

Instead, these freshly fragranced candles will make both you and your best friend sniff appreciatively. Scents include Day in the Hamptons—a crisp, green blend of rosemary, basil and spearmint that is the essence of the Frisbee-catching days of summer; the delightfully named Fart and Away, which smells of ylang ylang and tuberose and will not only freshen the air but ease your dog’s gas; Field of Dreams, a spicy amber and lavender blend that helps with sleepy times; Splendor in the Grass, a fresh-lawn scent that’s perfect for city-bound pups; and Friends to the Rescue, a zingy citrus that fleas hate.

We’re offering these five candles individually in their full sizes; as a set of five large candles; or as a set of five smaller votives. Sniff candles are 100 percent green and formulated with eco-friendly ingredients like soy, palm, beeswax, essential oils and natural cotton wicks. 

And now for the public service part of our feature: Sniff Pet Candles donate a portion of sales to a coalition of animal rescue groups that work with Animal Care and Control, aiding city shelters. The money is used to increase adoption and provide cheap or free spaying and neutering.

As curator and jewelry designer Jennifer Miller attests, "The smell, the clever names of each candle, the outreach to help save shelter animals—all make Sniff Candles special. They're also eco-friendly, hand-poured and have beautiful packaging." 

Doesn’t that smell good?
