The nice people at SafetyGearOnline asked me if I would try one of their products - a new collar that lights up for nighttime walks. I, of course, said yes because I love trying out new things and I thought I would look fabulous in a "disco" collar.
I only had to wait a few days and then...POOF...I received mail. In there, among some wonderful holiday cards from my pals, was a package from SafetyGearOnline.
This is MY mail so back off! |
I immediately opened the package and pulled out my new Nite Dawg LED Collar for inspection.
Smells like a collar... |
The Nite Dawg LED Collar glows continuously, or blinks, a bright red light so a dog can be seen walking around at night. Further reading tells that it is water-resistant (but not waterproof) and the battery, which is like a watch battery and is replaceable, lasts for up to 150 hours. It comes in three sizes - Small (10-13"), Medium (13-18") and Large (18-27").

So, last night I gave the Nite Dawg LED Collar the terrier test. I took Ma out for a walk:
Did you see me? I was aglow in red light.
We continued walking and I was, well...how can I say this...uncooperative. Ma kept trying to video me and I was dashing all over the place! Of course, with the new Nite Dawg collar, she could still see me so she kept trying to get me "on tape". (I may have to re-think this...there's no sneaking away with this collar on!)
Then, I had a pawesome
idea! I tried to hide from Ma by
blending in with the neighbor's holiday decorations.
This is not working... |
Very cool Oz, we've been thinking about getting light up collars for the pack...
ReplyDeleteRA
RA - It is such a cool collar. Hard to see from the videos because my hair is a bit long right now and covers up part of the collar....but it is pretty bright and glows all the way around!
DeleteThe pack would look so cool in light up collars!!
Oz
Yay.... we could see you in the movie. We love that you are safer at night with that collar.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
hugs, Max, Bugsy and Knuckles
Thanks pals!! It's too bad they don't make one for cats then we could all go dancing in the dark!!! BOL
DeleteHey Oz, Jet here.
ReplyDeleteDude, great suggestion for the Hurricane box. Great minds... Mom purchased a LED collar for me and a Leash for JJ... We were about to post, however, the leash has some technical difficulties... we're on leash 2 and it has the same issue...
Mom frets since I blend in with the color of night... now I have a white "glow" peaking out from my fluffy fur!
Great, great product idea!
Hi Jet!
DeleteOnce we started on our walk, Ma thought of the Hurricane box idea! We definitely could've used it years ago when we had all those storms and were without power for so long.
The moms can be such fretters, can't they...when they cannot see us in the dark?!?
Oz
Oh, I just love how you 'blended' into the holiday decorations Oz! Brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteI love the collar though, great review. I'm gonna get Ma right on gettin' me one of those cool collars, then we can hit the disco floor!!
Kisses,
Ruby
BOL! I'll try anything sometimes to get Ma from draggin' me around on the leash. Too bad she could still see me even though I blended in pretty well.
DeleteOh, let me know if you get one and I will take you out on a dancing date!!!
Hugs,
Oz
That is SO cool!
ReplyDeleteRem, you should get one!!! You would look pawesome in a flashy collar!
DeleteYou are really rockin that collar Oz. What a great gift for me for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteShould I drop a hint to your mom that you want one?!? It's quite a fun collar!!!
DeleteThat's really cool!
ReplyDeleteNubbin wiggles,
Oskar
Thanks! I had fun with it and am saving it for when we really need it!
DeleteOskar pal I agree this would be very helpful when the hurricanes put out the lights, and also on night hikes in the woods...Wondering how heavy it is? You said bulky but is it still comfortable for you? *snoogles*
ReplyDeleteGizmo:
DeleteYou are right, I did say it was a bit bulky but I meant that in regard to wearing it 24/7. It's not that heavy but where the battery is stored, it's thick.
Otherwise, for a long walk, hike, etc. I think it is just fine and comfortable. It's the same material as a regular collar and is adjustable, so it fit well. I didn't try to shake it off or anything like that.
You should give it a try...especially for your night hikes!!!
