Find Your Runaway Pet Easy - Put On A Glow In The Dark Dog Collar
A glow in the dark dog collar is one of the best things you can do for your pet
. If you are concerned about your pet's safety you need to make sure it can be seen well in the dark. If your dog happens to get loose at night, you want to make sure passing cars can see him and you want to be able to find him yourself. With a glow in the dark collar you can be sure to find your pet before he gets into trouble.
There are many different colors and styles of glow in the dark dog collars you can choose from. You will find your best deals on the internet. Most of the collars are a neon type color but you can also get a collar with actual lights that flash. These flashing lights usually are run by small batteries in the collar.
A glow in the dark collar is different than a reflective dog collar. Glow in the dark collars give off their own light. A glow in the dark dog collar will make your job easier if you are always out looking for your lost pet.
Even though some glow in the dark dog collars will emit their own light for several hours, in order to do that they must be exposed to a light source to absorb the light - or charge up, so to speak. If your pet has been inside the house sleep in a darkened room for some time, the collar may not give off enough light for him to be found.
Reflective collars only emit light when a light source is shined directly on it, such as car headlights. By the time that happens, it could be too late. Reflective dog collars are very good if you and your pet do a lot of running or walking outdoors in the evening or night. Reflective collars work just like reflective shoes or running gear that you might wear.
As with any collar you need to make sure of the fit. If you have a new puppy, please make sure you get an adjustable collar to grow with your pet. The rule of thumb for sizing the collar is to allow one finger between neck and collar for small dogs, two fingers for medium dogs and three fingers for larger dogs. Make sure the dog can't get free of the collar with a couple good tugs.
