Whistle While You Wick started in the summer of 2016 when my rescued dog Rosco tested positive for heart worms. I had been very naive, but after much research, I realized the gravity of an infestation I had been so oblivious about.

 

      Struggling to find the means to cover treatment, I came up with the idea to make and sell citronella candles. I incorporated my love for nature with the willingness to combat mosquitoes while raising awareness for heart worms.

 

     Because of a few candle sales and help from family, friends, and even kind strangers, I am grateful

that my soul companion was by my side

for 13 wonderful, adventurous years. 

 

     Rosco’s story was the beginning and it continues to inspire our mission today. I hope to bring awareness to a preventable disease that can cause irreparable damage and is fatal if left untreated.

 

      A portion of each candle sale will be donated to the treatment of heart worms for a rescued pet.

WWYW has expanded from just citronella, but the purpose will always stay the same. Don't let a preventable disease cost you hundreds or even the life of your best friend. If not already, get your pet on heart worm prevention today, because you both deserve so many more adventures together.
