Baltic Amber is a fossil resin naturally produced by trees that grew on earth 50 million years ago. Its repelling mechanism is twofold: By releasing terpene, an aromatic substance contained in amber, which vaporizes when heated or rubbed. Its resinous aroma is absorbed in the animal’s fur and exerts a repulsive action on insects; plants themselves produce resin in cortex lesions in order to protect from insects and fungi. Amber has electrostatic properties and rubbing on the fur it saturates it with static electricity, forming a barrier that prevents insects from infesting the animal.

What is the lifespan for amber collars?

The duration of the amber collar depends on the degree of liveliness of the animal wearing it, we have found for example that, on very active and playful dogs, a collar lasts about 6 – 8 months whereas, on quieter and sedentary dogs, it can last even 2 – 3 years. In principle, the collar should be renewed when most of the pearls have worn out or crumbled.

N.B: it is important to wash the collar monthly to maintain its repellent properties over time.

Should I remove my pet’s amber collar before bath?

It is not necessary to remove the collar before bathing your pet, however, we recommend rinsing it well under running water if your pet has been swimming in the sea, to eliminate any traces of salt that could prevent its proper functioning.
