In the dark

A few years ago I bought a flashing collar for my Golden Retriever for autumnal and winter evenings which broke earlier this year. No idea where I got it from in the first place so can you recommend a good replacement I can use to keep Bailey visible?

  1. I prefer a harness with reflective piping. Much less likely to get lost :-) The EzyDpg range is good and really does shine in the dark http://www.dfordog.co.uk/ezydog-harnesses-classic.html

  2. As an alternative, high visibility/reflective collars, harnesses and jackets work well. I have a coat for my Border Terrier, which is high vis orange, and includes a silver reflective strip for fastening him into the coat. As an extra, the coat has a removable fleece inside the waterproof outer coat. These products will help keep your dog visible and protected. Here is the link to some reflective and high vis wear by Muddy Paws - http://www.muddypaws.co.uk/dog-coats-clothing/hi-visbility-clothing?sid=6ckai0r61ivngfv40sv1u1ln75

  3. Hi, I have 2 goldies and use the trixie reflective and flashing collars. If its particularly dark, I also use a blinker attached to the d-ring (watch out for cheap blinkers tho). cheers, anna

  4. I bought a Leuchtie Led Light Collar for my Golden Border Collie which is absolutely brilliant. I have tried others but they are never bright enough when you have a really hairy dog but this one is so bright it lights up where he is going! It is also waterproof, comes in a big range of colours and is guaranteed for 2 years and you can buy spares for it too. I got it from www.leuchtie.co.uk
