Benefits Of LED Glow In The Dark Dog Collars
LED light up dog collars have numerous benefits including the following:
Help To Keep Track Of Your Dog In Darkness
The light-up collars are very useful in keeping track of your dog at night. Watching your dog glowing around the backyard at night may not be quite necessary but it helps a lot when you are in outdoor places such as the beach or campsite. You won’t need to worry where your pooch has strayed off in the middle of the night when you can clearly see him glowing in the dark.
Makes Your Dog Visible To Motorists
It is usually very difficult for motorists to see a dog in the middle of the road at night. The LED light up collar makes your dog visible from a distance and goes a long way in preventing accidents.
Illuminates Your Path While Walking Your Dog at Night
Walking your dog at night can be quite cumbersome if you can’t clearly see what lies in your path. Dogs have a habit of crisscrossing your path, especially when leading by the leash. The LED collar helps to illuminate your path and make things easier for both you and your dog. You won’t need to hold a flashlight when the dog’s collar can glow and show all the bumps and obstacles on your way.
Helps To Pick The Dog’s Nighttime Poop With Ease
Have you ever tried to hold your dog’s leash and your flashlight or phone while trying to pick up dog poop in the dark? If you haven’t, just know that it is not your idea of fun. However, with an LED dog collar shedding light all around, you won’t need to hold a flashlight or phone and you’ll have a spare hand to pick up the poop easily.
Factors To Consider
Here are some of the most important things to consider when shopping for the best LED dog collar:
Design
LED Safety Light Up dog collars come in different styles and designs. Some feature LED strips around the collar while others have the lights on specific sections of the collar. Most people prefer a 360 degrees light design as it provides a brighter all-round illumination. There are also different buckle and string styles including single string, double string, and PVC strap.
Quality
Quality and durability are important factors to consider in every purchase you make. Look for an LED dog collar with a high-quality durable design. Check its electrical components and make sure that they’ll keep on working perfectly for a long time. Avoid extremely cheap collars which tend to experience electrical failures after a few uses.
Brightness
Make sure the LED light up dog collar you invest in provides sufficient brightness in the dark. A collar with dull light will not be of much use when walking your dog at night. The whole purpose of getting the collar is to get sufficient lighting through the dog’s collar.
Colors
LED dog collars come in diverse styles and colors. Get one in a color that matches your dog’s appearance.
Waterproofing
We highly recommend going for an LED collar that is adequately waterproof, especially if you live in places that experience wet or rainy weather most of the time. The unit may not be 100% waterproof but it should ideally be water resistant and capable of withstanding exposure to light rain.
Battery
Most LED light up dog collars come with a USB-rechargeable battery while others are powered by a coin battery. Rechargeable batteries are not only eco-friendly but they are also convenient and easy to recharge and use. Coin batteries, on the other hand, have the advantage of lasting a long time before replacement.
Adjustability
There are many ways of adjusting and resizing an LED glow in the dark dog collar. Some come with a buckle that you can easily use to resize the collar while others cannot be adjusted and may require cutting off a piece of the collar to fit your dog’s neck. An adjustable collar is a great option, especially if you plan to use the collar on multiple dogs.
