I’d love to take my dog for a walk or jog at night. Do those light-up collars really work?

      I’ve seen some really cute ones, but I’m not sure how well they work. I’ve seen both LED and glow-in-the-dark collars. Is one better? Do you have any tips for night walking with my dog?

      Hi, fellow CJ forumer! I’ve used a few different ones over the years. Admittedly, I’ve tried a few cheap Chinese ones, which last for about a week or so, and some of them, not even that. I chose a much better quality LED option, and they are brilliant for low-visibility walks. It’s reassuring that if my dog slipped her leash, she’d be visible. We’ve reviewed the best light-up dog collars that are great for nighttime walkies, and they all have great reviews and last for years, according to customer reviews. Although I’ve never personally tried a glow-in-the-dark collar, we also recommend a few. LED collars are usually brighter.
      When it comes to nighttime walking, I recommend that you and your pup use reflective gear and a flashlight. Also, make sure your phone has enough charge just in case you get into trouble. Remember to know your route and leave the headphones behind so you don’t become distracted. Have fun, and let us know how you get on with your new collar.

      I have used an LED light-up collar for my pup at night. It is super bright and makes it very easy to see him at night. I got it because he is dark-colored, and I could never see him at night. This has helped me keep track of him when he goes out in the yard at night. I tried a few glow-in-the-dark collars but found that they lost charge very quickly. The LED collar works excellently so far.

      Awesome, thanks for the feedback! I’ll give one of those LED collars a try.

      I don’t usually walk my dog at night, but now that it is getting darker earlier and earlier, I notice a lot of people walking their dogs when it is dark out. I’m starting to see these LED collars and they are awesome! When it is dark, the person and dog sneak up on you, but with those LED collars it is super obvious it is not only a person, but a dog too. I’m definitely going to get one.
