Light-up dog collars that will keep your dog safe

Keeping your dog safe in the dark is essential and that's where the Illumiseen collar comes in. The LED light is rechargeable and will need topping up after every walk. It's good to know that this collar comes up large. Review: "I wouldn't be without this collar! As I start work at 7am it means I have to walk the dog at 5.45am in the pitch dark. As the dog runs free without a lead it is so easy to keep an eye on her when wearing this collar. It is very bright and even though my dog is very hairy (she is a collie) the light is strong enough to shine through her hair. Only niggle is that I ordered the medium size which was far too long. I would have been better to order the small - however there was none left in stock when I went to exchange it, so I just kept this one and tightened the collar as much as I could. I have been using the collar daily for a few weeks now and haven't had to recharge it yet. Totally recommend!"

This cut-to-size collar claims to be the brightest on the market, and contains F5 SuperBright LED lights. The TPU collar is easy to clean, water-repellent and built to last. There are three different modes to choose from and it's available in five different colours.Review: "I spent ages deliberating over which collar to buy and I'm glad I chose this one. It is a nice bright light and was so easy to trim to size (I did it so it slips over my dog's head). He has longish fur so sometimes it gets a little hidden but this is not the fault of the collar. I would recommend this product."

Although this one doesn't light up, it will still offer some safety for your dog. The reflective 3M material helps them be seen and the design of the collar means it's comfortable and robust. It comes in eight sizes, so there are plenty of options.Review: "Bought this for my 10 month old puppy who had managed to somehow destroy 3 collars in the last 2 months. It's been about a month now and it's great. I'm actually considering buying one for my other dog. It's quite a sturdy collar - with a bit of padding in there. The colour (yellow) now looks a little bit green, but it's survived many a mud bath. The reflective stitching shows up, but if you're doing night walking I'd suggest still getting a light-up collar."

Another one of the cut-to-size variety, this collar gives you six hours use for one charge and is available in six colours. Illumiseen also stocks a range of leads, harnesses and more to help your dog be the brightest pooch on the block.Review: "OMG This is a revelation. Hot Rod the Rottweiler (named after Rod the mod) looks fantastic and being black not so easily seen at night, however, you can see him now for miles, well a bit of an exaggeration but, I cannot express my sheer delight seeing Hot Rod promenading down the Avenue wearing this collar around his neck. And, they are certainly right about the quality, it's incredible. I would recommend this to any pet owner."

If you'd prefer a battery operated collar, this one takes AAA alkaline batteries, which should give you 100 hours of use before needing to be changed. It's 100% waterproof, durable and can withstand all sorts of activity. One thing to bear in mind with this collar is that it does slip over the head, so getting the correct size is crucial. It comes in 12 colours and will automatically turn off after a minute if the battery pack is facing the wrong way. Review: "In my opinion this is an essential safety night light for my dog. The batteries have terrific life and I reckon close to the 100 hours claimed. I put it on the dog soon as it starts to get dark at night just in case of an accidental escape. (I had one of my dogs tragically killed this way previously). I have 3 Leuchties now and rate them highly. No on/off switch, just turn it upside down and the lights go out. they are terrifically bright and mean the dog is clearly visible for a long distance when out walking at night. I highly recommend."

If you want something to add on to your dog's already existing collar, maybe an LED light is for you. Perfect for attaching to a collar, harness or lead, it gives you that layer of safety without the faff of switching collars each time you go out.Review: "I have bought many a collar light for my dog and always am disappointed. But this one is different and one I purchased twice so she would have two lights on her collar instead of just one. What I love is how easy it is to turn on and off, which makes a difference in the cold wearing thick gloves. I love the bright pink colour and it easily attaches to her collar without any jingling noise like others make. I highly recommend."

These multi-use tags are great for all sorts of things - keys, bag, bike and, of course, your dog's collar. A simple way to ensure you can see them, they come with a CR2032 battery which can run for up to 40 hours. Press once for a steady glow, twice for fast flashing, third for slow flash, and fourth to turn off the light.Tried and tested, 2020: "My dog doesn't tend to wear a collar so I often forget to put a light-up collar on him when we go out in the evening. These lights are great because I can attach one to his harness and it's always ready to go. The pack of six means they'll last for ages, plus they come with extra batteries too. They're pretty bright but not blinding - what's important to me is that others dog owners and cyclists can see us coming on the paths."
