Most Frequent Questions
Everything you need to know about Bougie Poochie — luxury candles formulated to be safe for the dogs and cats that share your home. Below, the questions we are asked most often about our fragrances, our formulation standard, and our commitment to animals.
Our Candles
Yes. Every formulation is non-toxic for the animals that share the home, developed to the olfactory standard of the most sensitive nose in the room, and free of every endocrine disruptor. The science of olfactory toxicology guided each choice. If a formulation meets the standard of the greyhound, it meets everything else.
Many home fragrances release compounds that the animal's olfactory system cannot safely process. This science is precise, and largely unknown to the public. Bougie Poochie was founded by an insider of the high-end candle industry who could no longer ignore it.
No. The received idea that everything natural is harmless deserves scrutiny. A rigorously isolated synthetic molecule can prove safer for a dog than a complex essential oil. We retain each material for what it genuinely does.
Bougie Poochie is a home brand — the first luxury home fragrance house whose formulations take into account the presence of animals in the home. It simply takes the most sensitive nose in the room seriously.
Yes. We are committed to donating a percentage of our sales to partner associations that protect animals in need — with particular attention to the Galgo Español, an ancient breed abandoned en masse each year. Protection, for us, does not stop at the front door.
