Every dog owner should make sure their beloved canine has a collar, but with winter and early evening darkness around the corner, you may want to opt for an LED collar.

These will ensure you’re always able to see where you dog is, even if it’s pitch black, and if he or she likes to sprint from one bush to another then it could wind up saving their life. Even the best behaved dogs can go missing and an LED collar will ensure they’re easily found by either yourself or another civilian.

These collars tend to be waterproof with a long battery life and while it will look as though your dog is a bit of a raver, it will ensure you know where he or she is on your walk. You can also get different colours for different dogs, but always make sure the colour includes a name tag.
