Luminous collar for dogs: More safety when walking in the dark

Every dog ​​owner should take their four-legged friend for regular, long walks so that they can do their business and stretch their legs. So that the animal can be seen better in the dark, a luminous collar for the dog is advantageous (not only in the winter months).

Dogs with brown or black fur are difficult to recognize in the dark: in the early morning hours, when the first round of walks is imminent, but also late in the evening, the animals are not always seen by other people. This particularly applies to drivers and cyclists. This fact increases the risk of accidents many times over, especially if the four-legged friends are allowed to run around freely on an excellent dog meadow. In addition, young animals in particular could disappear in the darkness without being found by their masters. For this reason, a luminous collar for dogs is the ideal solution to always make the animals visible when it is dark outside.
