Be Seen: Bright Is Best

Low light and busy roads mean visibility matters. Reflective trims, high-vis panels and LED clip-ons make you and your dog easier to spot from a distance—great for roadside paths, parks and towpaths.

• Reflective collars & harnesses: ideal for constant visibility from multiple angles.
• LED clip-ons: pop onto a D-ring for a glow you can track at a glance.
• High-vis coats: warmth + visibility in one simple layer.
• Human kit counts too: add a reflective band or head torch so you’re seen as well.

Stay Warm: Cosy Layers for Chilly Evenings

Some dogs feel the cold more than others—think petite pups, slim builds and short-haired breeds. A weather-ready coat helps keep muscles warm, reduces post-walk shivers and makes longer strolls more comfortable.

• Water-resistant outers: shrug off drizzle and light showers.
• Fleece linings: trap warmth without bulk.
• Freedom to move: look for a non-restrictive cut around shoulders.
• Paw care: protect pads from cold, salt and grit—see winter paw picks.

Lead the Way: Control, Comfort & Confidence

In the dark it’s harder to gauge distance and terrain. Stick to well-lit routes and keep your dog on a lead where visibility is limited.

• Standard or shock-absorbing leads for steady control on pavements and paths.
• Retractable leads can work in open, well-lit spaces—lock short near roads or other dogs.
• Front-clip harnesses give extra steering for enthusiastic pullers.
• ID matters: make sure tags are current and easy to read at a glance.
