EM-jewelry

This EM® jewelryis handmade in Germany and is intended to be a natural tick protection for pets. This jewelry features EM® ceramic and pine beads.

EM stands for effective microorganisms, a general term for products that are based on a mixture of microorganisms (most often yeast, lactic acid and photosynthetic bacteria). Together, these trigger a natural reaction that makes the skin surface less attractive for insects, especially ticks, to attach to. EM ceramic beads are well known for their insect-repellent effect, and many people see good results from using this throughout the tick season.

The jewelry also features Swiss pine beads, handmade in Austria from air-dried, untreated pine from Tyrol. In addition to its pleasant scent, Swiss pine is said to have many beneficial properties. Essential oils extracted from this wood species are known to have a stress-reducing effect, as well as being insect repellent. TIP! To enhance the effect even more, you can drip Napani's essential oil blend BUG-OFF onto the wooden beads.

The tick season in Norway usually lasts from April to November, or as long as the temperature is above 0 °C. For best results, it is recommended that the jewelry is worn continuously during this period. It is individual how quickly you see the effect of the jewelry, but most people achieve full effect within 14 days. The jewelry should only be removed when playing rough with other animals. You can safely leave it on while swimming, but it is recommended to take it off and air dry afterwards (preferably in sunlight).

NOTE! This is not a collar, so you should never attach a leash to this. EM jewelry cannot guarantee that it will completely prevent ticks. Therefore, always check the fur thoroughly after you have been outside, and remove ticks as soon as possible.
