Hi-vis products to keep your dog safe on dark nights

Advert: December 2024

Winter is fast approaching – which means nights are getting longer and some of us are having to walk our dogs in the dark. 

While the sun is hiding away, it’s essential that our dogs can be seen in low light conditions, especially around busy roads. That’s why high visibility wear, or ‘hi-vis’, is so important! 

Let’s explore a few of the fantastic hi-vis products available from VioVet, to help keep your dog safe as dark nights draw in…

Hi-vis coat

This Danish Design Ultimate 2 in 1 Hi Vis Dog Coat is pawfect for dark night walkies! As well as being waterproof, windproof, and breathable, this innovative dog coat benefits from fluorescent outer material with light reflective beading for enhanced visibility in low light conditions. Additionally, this coat has a fleece liner that can be removed in warmer weather – helping your dog stay seen throughout the seasons.  

Hi-vis lead

Using a reflective lead while walking your dog can be a brilliant way to improve their visibility! The Walk ‘R’ Cise Reflect ‘A’ Lead  combines a hi-vis orange base with highly reflective strips, making it easier for others to see you and your dog on dark nights. Along with being highly visible, this lead offers great durability and is available in five different sizes – meaning there’s a hi-vis lead to suit every breed of dog. 

Hi-vis collar

If your dog wears a hi-vis collar, it’s easier for others to see them while taking them for a walk in the dark or when weather conditions cause poor visibility. Thanks to being visible up to one mile away, the Equisafety LED Flashing Dog Collar is ideal for nighttime dog walks! Plus, this hi-vis collar is shock proof and water resistant with hundreds of hours’ worth of battery power, making it suitable for plenty of adventures with your best fur-iend.

Hi-vis harness

While safety is vital for dark night walks with your dog, it’s also important that your canine companion is comfortable.

And this innovative hi-vis harness can be fully adjusted for a comfortable fit – meaning it’s suitable for your dog as they grow or change shape throughout their life. 

Hi-vis accessory

Should you prefer a hi-vis accessory for your dog instead of a coat, collar, or harness, the Rosewood Dog Collar Safety Flashing Light could be just the product for you! With three red, blue, and white LEDs that flash, this handy little gadget could be enough to enhance your dog’s visibility from a distance when clipped to their collar. In addition to being supplied with batteries, it takes seconds to clip to your canine companion’s collar with ease – making it easier than ever to improve your dog’s visibility.
