The dark mornings and evenings are almost here, so here are our hints and tips on walking your dogs in the dark!🐶🌙
1. Invest in a light up collar for your dog so that they are more visible to others when you’re out on your walk.
2. Hi-vis harnesses, leads and/or jackets for your dog are great ways to increase visibility. This is particularly recommended if you have a dog with a dark coat.
3. Unless you’re in a fully secure and enclosed area, keep your dogs on the lead in the dark. If they get a smell up their nose and wander off, they are much harder to spot in the dark! With that in mind, take a minute to ensure your dog’s microchip details are up to date, just in case!
4. Stick to well lit walking routes if you can so that you can see where you’re going and keep an eye on your doggo.
5. Remember to keep yourself safe too! Use a head torch and put on a hi-vis.
6. Lastly, we are big believers that cold, muddy and wet walks should be followed with warmth, snuggles and a cosy spot to curl up in for all involved!🥰💙
Stay safe and visible!🍂🐶
