High visibility dog gear guide

High visibility dog gear guide

The biggest fear of any dog owner is losing their beloved companion in an accident. We know this feeling very well. Therefore, we have created a wide range of high visibility dog gear.

When using reflective gear, a driver will have 10 seconds to react instead of only two seconds, according to Trygg Trafikk. This can mean the difference between life and death. Even in areas with street lights, it is recommended to use reflectors for both yourself and your dog. Dog visibility products will make it easier to spot your dog under dark or foggy conditions. In addition to being bright orange, our gear is equipped with reflective print and/or piping to maximize visibility.

High visibility dog vests

A dog visibility vest is a lightweight vest that will make your dog visible from several angles.

Reflective dog vests are perfect to use in areas with traffic. These dog vests are made with reflective materials and bright colors such as orange or yellow. The large area of reflective material provides maximum visibility when lights from a car or lamp hits it. These reflective vests are also easy to spot if you are wearing a head torch and your dog is running free.

There are also dog vests for hunting, developed primarily to be used in the forest and mountains to easily spot your dog when freerunning. Though initially developed for hunting dogs, they are beneficial for all dogs roaming free or on leash during the hunting season. Hunting vests are made with bright, highly visible colors and use less reflective material than other vests.

We have developed high vis dog vests to cover most needs. Our vests range from a simple cover to more advanced vests that include features such as a GPS pocket as well as an aramid reinforced chest plate to protect against harsh and thorny vegetation.

All vests are equipped with a loop to which you can attach a tracking line or a dog safety light for extra visibility.

High visibility dog collar

Reflective dog collars with a fluorescent color will increase visibility in the dark for most dogs and from most angles. If your dog has a thick coat, however, using a harness or adding a reflection blanket is advised.

The Protector collar is not only a highly visible dog collar, it also has a unique feature that might be life-saving for your dog if they get snagged on a branch when freerunning or on another dog when playing. A bungee component enables your dog to break free if needed.

When attaching a leash to the two D-rings, the collar functions as a regular dog collar.

When swimming, your dog can be difficult to spot for boaters and other water users. This risk increases in open waters with waves or on windy days on large lakes. In addition to being a swimming aid and safety measure, a highly visible dog life jacket makes it easier for you and others to see your dog from a greater distance. It can also be invaluable if your dog gets carried away by currents.
