Collar Tips for Dog Owners

Like any pet owner, you may often be forced to walk your dog at night. In order to ensure the safety of your canine friend, there are several things you can do to make the dog more visible after the sun goes down.

You can purchase a reflective collar that your dog can wear all day long, not just at night. These collars include a strip of reflective fabric that will make your dog visible to anybody driving by. You can also purchase a special dog collar that has LED light that flash. Put this collar on for all nightly walks to prevent accidents from happening.

You should not leave the collar on when your dog is not out for a walk. It can pose a threat to your dog's safety should the collar get caught on something around the house. If you need to keep a collar on your dog for ID reasons, purchase a breakaway collar that is designed to prevent strangulation.
