Reflectors in the collar, harness and leash for the dog!

Reflectors in dog accessories ensure greater safety during walks. You asked us a few years ago about the option of reflectors in collars, harnesses and leashes, so we are very happy that we can finally give you what you need?

Due to short days, we often take autumn and winter walks after dark. Reflective dog collar or reflective harness make the light reflected from the tape increase the dog's visibility.

Dog collar, leash or harness with reflectors - why use it?

Reflective elements in clothing, including animal clothing, have a role increase the safety of a dog's pedestrian when active outside after dark. The reflective accessory is especially important when walking in poorly lit areas, especially on an unlit road. In such places, our silhouettes are drowning in the dark, and we are hardly visible to drivers.

Unfortunately, sometimes even the most guarded dog can leave the path onto the road led by the promising scent of a runaway pigeon (ugh ...), or at play he suddenly jumps out onto the street. Such situations can also occur while walking on a leash - the call of an intriguing scent does not choose! In the absence of reflectors, the driver's reaction time is extended, because he will see our dog only 20 - 30 meters in front of him. A reflective leash, harness or collar with a reflective element reflects the car's lights and makes the animal visible from a distance of approx. 130 - 150 meters. This gives you more time to react and make the right decisions.

Reflective Dog Products - How To Use?

In order for the reflections on the dog accessories to work, we designed their location so that the doggy was visible to drivers coming from both directions. In In the harness, the reflector is on both sides and on the front pooch, v lanyard - both sides at the top and bottom, in turn, on the collar, it is positioned so that a fragment of the reflective tape is visible regardless of the adjustment setting on the dog's neck.

The principle of operation of reflectors is that the closer they are to the ground, the faster they will be noticed by a moving car - it is related to the positioning of headlights in cars.

Little puppies they wear small accessories, so the surface on which the reflector can be inserted is not large, but they win by being close to the pavement level, and thus - they will be more easily noticed.

U dogs with long hair or thick ruff the collar may be covered with fur, and thus the visibility of the reflection on the collar is limited. For such dogs, they will be a better choice harness and leash enriched with a reflective element.

Reflective tape - what does it look like?

Reflective tape has a shape diagonal, evenly spaced stripes - it reminds us a bit of the iconic Adidas stripes and we are proud of it: D Due to the fact that there are gaps between the stripes, the pattern of the tape remains visible and the whole is aesthetically consistent.

A single tape has a length of 6 diagonal stripes (approx. 5 cm), depending on the type of product and its size, we heat up 6 stripes (e.g. small XS collars) or their multiple (e.g. 18 pieces in guard M harness located at several points) .

Reflectors in dog accessories - how long do they last?
