With darker nights already upon us, many dog owners will have little choice but to take their dogs on an evening walk due to the shorter daylight hours. If you’re going to be one of them, it’s important to keep both yourself and your dog as safe as possible. This can potentially be a very dangerous time of year, not least because of the lack of visibility. Here are our tips for being safe and being seen on dark winter walks.
The Orbiloc Dog Dual Safety Light is a high quality, durable LED safety light which helps make sure that both you and your dog are visible to others when out walking in the dark, reducing the risk of being involved in an accident or dangerous situation.
Keep your dog on a lead It’s best to keep your dog on a lead throughout your walks for maximum safety. It’s not at all uncommon for them to become disorientated, especially at times where there’s snow or ice on the ground. Even without this, there‘s still big possibility for your dog to become anxious or distressed. Strange noises from wildlife that they cannot see well, or at all, can scare your pet into running off, even if they pose no obvious threat. There are a number of dog-friendly, wearable products available that are both practical and stylish while you strut the streets in the dark.
Make them visible Make sure that your dog can be seen easily by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians during your walks. Visibility may range from poor to non- existent in areas that are badly lit and others may have no way of knowing that you are there until it’s too late. Reflective clothing and a head torch can be invaluable for highlighting your presence, as can LED lights on your dog’s leash or collar.
