1) Create Pet-Friendly Scents: I love the smell of cinnamon, apple cider, and cookies baking. And many of my friends re-create that scent this time of year with deliciously scented potpourri and candles. Unfortunately, potpourri and candles are hazardous to pets. Potpourri can be toxic if eaten by a curious animal, and birds and cats alike find it hard to resist a flickering candle. Along with the risk of your pet singeing herself, an unattended burning candle can prove to be a fire hazard if knocked over by a rambunctious pet.
Instead of using potentially toxic substances, recreate those same scents with pet-friendly items. Baking a batch of holidaydog cookies for example will fill the air with the same delicious scent as human cookies, and Fido can share in the treat (since I have a tendency to eat the batter before I ever get to the baking part when I’m making human cookies, my waistline thanks me greatly whenever I choose to bake cookies for the dog instead).
You can also create simple, inexpensive, and attractive centerpieces of oranges and cloves to fill a room with a delicious scent. DIY Life offers some great tips on making these simple and inexpensive centerpieces.
