Enjoy Greater Nighttime Safety with a Reflective Dog Jacket
Unless your dog has bright pink fur, the natural color of their fur coat will
fade into the night when out for evening walks. One way to ensure your pup
doesn’t get ‘lost in the darkness’ is to outfit them in a reflective dog jacket.
Reflective dog jackets are one doggie couture item
that does not derive its foundation from fashion. Yes, these
dog vests can be spruced-up to look good, but
they are purely a protective garment for your pup’s night safety.
Whether you and your dog enjoy evening jaunts in the city, suburbs or country;
unless your dog is wearing a jacket with reflective strips, it will go unseen.
Going unseen is both a hazard to your dogs as well as other people who may walk,
ride or drive by.
Similar to the way that cars turn on their lights to see and be seen at night,
the same should be done for dogs who enjoy getting their outdoor exercise at
night. When sporting a doggie vest your dog becomes a flash of light at night.
Getting a dog reflective jacket doesn’t have to be an expensive stand-alone
purchase. Instead, try and combine a few seasons in one coat and get a dog
rain coat, reflective coat and cold-weather coat in one.
From a thriftier point of view, you could make your own reflective dog coat. Go
the fabric or outdoor supply store and look for reflective strips that can be
affixed to the dog’s jacket. The only consideration with this method is keeping
your dog’s comfort in mind.
You want your dog to shine all the time, but the best time for them to shine is
at night. To avoid being a night owl, find or make a jacket which reflects
light. This way, you, your dog and others with whom you come in contact will
enjoy greater nighttime safety.
