Reflective Dog Collars-Finding Your Dog At Night

A lady that walks her dog off leash in the park at night asked about reflective dog collars.  She said that the collar she has only reflected light if they were in a lit area or near traffic.  She was disappointed with the collar because she could not see her dog in unlit areas.

I would like to address a couple of concerns here.  Most states have a leash law for public parks.  With that in mind, should you really have your dog off the leash at all.  The second concern is, what if your dog takes off after a rabbit or some other animal.  How are you going to find him or prevent him from running into the street during the chase?  And lastly, if your dog is running loose in the park and you can’t see him, does this mean you don’t clean up after him?  That is really not very thoughtful of others that visit the park.

If you have found a place to walk your dog off leash where none of that is a concern, reflective dog collars are available that can aid you in this situation.  With minimal exposure to the light, these reflective dog collars will glow in the dark, allowing you to see your dog in the dark.
