Despite our best efforts, there are times that our pets get off of a leash or out of their kennel. Many pet owners have had the frightening experience of opening a door at night and that pesky little dog sneaking around your legs to escape. In a matter of seconds your pet can dart into the street into oncoming traffic and be killed. While it may be tempting to blame the driver of the car, we know in out hearts that with no warning there was nothing he or she could have done. If you pet had a reflective dog collar, there is a better chance for the driver to stop in time to save your pet's life.

It is estimated that one in five persons has hit a pet with their vehicle. Twenty-five percent of the persons who hit a dog or cat do not stop to check on the pet or report it. Millions of pets die on the road each year and many have been left to suffer.

If you are a responsible dog owner, then consider purchasing a reflective dog collar for your friend. Collars are a very affordable option that makes pets much more visible to drivers earlier than pets who do not have the reflective collar. Dark animals need this protection the most, but all animals can benefit from a reflective collar. This can increase visibility to the one to six hundred foot range that drivers need in order to respond and stop so that your pet can get out of the way.

You can find two types of collars which are sold as reflective. On uses the same type reflective material used in vests of highway workers to make them more visible. The material reflects the available light from vehicles to allow the pet to be seen more readily.

The second type of collar technically is not a reflective collar but a phosphorescent one. This collar works like a glow-in-the-dark toy. It absorbs light in the day and gives it off at night. When fully charged by light, these collars work well, but after several hours in the dark, they will lose their glow. By early morning, they may not give the needed light to make your pet visible to cars. They also may not show up as well during very foggy weather.

You will also find reflective leashes that match the reflective collars. These leashes help drivers to see you as well as your pet and thus increase safety for both of you.

If your pet gets loose after dark, the reflective collar can help you to find your dog. Never chase a loose dog, but train it to come to your call. Chasing the animal can force it out into the danger of the street.

Dogs should have identity tags attached to their collar. Be sure that there is a current phone number on the id tag so that if your pet is found, you can be notified.

Even though you have a reflective collar, remember that you should always supervise your pet when it is off the leash. Never let him run loose unattended. The reflective collar can help you to find a hurt pet to get him the help that is needed.
