Choosing the Best Reflective Dog Collar

The Best Reflective Collars for Dogs

There may be a few reasons you are looking for a reflective collar for your dog. One of the main reasons people consider reflective dog collars is for maximum visibility on those nightly walks. Even when your dog is on a leash and close to you, other people may not see them.  

Dark haired dogs, like a black lab, can nearly dissapear from your sight when it gets dark.  When your dog is leashed, this can pose a slight danger to other people walking. But in higher traffic areas, there may be people running, biking, or even on scooters. It is important for everyones' safety for your dog to be clearly visible to everyone around.  

Its important to maximize visibility of your dog to other evening and after-dark hazards like speeding traffic and neighborhood or country wildlife. The goal of a reflective collar is to really prevent your dog from surprising anyone or anything; whether it is a person walking, a cyclist, or an oncoming car. 

If you have a fenced-in yard for you dog, a reflective collar can allow you to see your dog the entire time they are in your yard. Without a safety reflecting collar, your dog mightdissapear from your view until you call him/her back. 

The best reflective collar should be 100% reflective. In other words, it should reflect light from all parts of the collar. Some collars only have a small piece of reflective material and claim to be a reflective collar. The unfortunate truth is that while they are partly reflective, they will never do as good of a job as a collar that is made from 100% reflective material.

Things to Consider When Looking at Reflective Safety Collars 

There are some important things to consider, mainly safety and comfort. Any dog accessory you choose should always be safe for your dog to wear, and comfortable.

Any dog collar you choose for your dog should fit them well. Your dog is going to wear its collar ALOT, so it should be comfortable.  When your dog doesn't mind the collar, it won't try to rip it off.  A well-fitting collar is much less likely to get caught on things,  and leave your dog scared and possibly injured.

Pet owners often choose pet accessories that suit their own tastes - maybe a luxury leather dog collar with a matching leash, or perhaps a pink bandana for days at the park. Our pets are a reflection of ourselves and parts of our families - so we should dress them up as we see fit!

Warner Reflective Dog Collar

We offer our safety reflective collar in a handful of different colors, and lengths. All of these collars are 1" wide, which we have found to be a perfect size for small, medium, and large dogs alike. Wider collars can be okay for large dogs, but cumbersome for the smaller dogs. On the other hand, narrow collars can be great for small dogs, but not nearly wide enough for large dogs (particularly if they have long hair.)

No matter what color you choose, you can be sure that the collar will do its job and keep your dog safe.  Our collars are completely wrapped in 3M reflective material, so these collars can reflect light from any angle or direction.  Some other features of our collars are: 

  • Waterproof and durable construction
  • Free 3-line customized Brass ID tag included with each collar (and attached)
  • Made in USA construction using American materials.

Steph Clemmons: "Heavy duty, great quality collar! I've had another one that my pitbull has worn 24/7 for about 4 years. They don't wear, hold dirt or stink. I even occasionally put it in the dishwasher! Holds up great and still brightly reflective. Deep, clear letter stamping on the name tag. Highly recommend for doggos that love to get dirty! Plus clear identification without obnoxious jingling tags!"

Tana Lott: "Just got my collar in the mail. Absolutely love it! Such great quality for an amazing price. Just ordered 2 more for my other dogs!!! Love the color & the easy identification!!!"
