What kind of reflector should you choose for your dog?
Best reflector for a dog depends primarily on where and when you take your dog out. On well-lit city streets, a reflective vest, reflective leash, or reflective dog coat can provide good additional visibility. On dark forest roads and unlit jogging trails, you should also consider an active safety light.
The reflector and the LED light are not mutually exclusive either. On the contrary, they complement each other. The dog reflector is effectively visible when, for example, car headlights hit it, while the dog's attention light shines independently even in complete darkness.
Particularly good visibility can be achieved by combining, for example, a reflective vest, a reflective leash and a dog LED light. This makes it easier to detect not only the dog, but also its movement and the location of the leash.
