3. Canac K9 Lite Safety Flashing Dog Collar, £5.99, monsterpetsupplies.co.uk

The K9 Lites Safety Collar, ok so it lights up well instead flashes. It has a fluorescent yellow reflective material around it. Kind of looks like a cat collar. If your dog likes to run ahead of you, it has up to 300 metres of visibility. Altho not sure how many dog owners allow their pets to run this distance away from them, perhaps a farm dog.

The collar has two sizes small and medium.

K9 Lites also states that you should use your regular collar as well, which would indicate that it’s not that strong. However, it does the job of seeing your dog in the dark we will give it that.

Measuring your dog to fit the collar

You need to measure the head, not the neck and add on an extra 10mm for comfort, so it’s not too tight. But don’t worry as you can also cut it to size when it arrives. Comes in two different sizes 50cm or 80cm we would suggest ordering the larger size, least then you know you can cut it to size and get the fit just right. It’s only a couple of quid more.

Please note this is not a replacement for a dog collar.

• Colourful – four colours to choose from dark blue, red, green and purple
• Lightweight
• Waterproof
