Dog Flash/Safety Blinkers

I recently brought 2 of the dog flash/safety blinkers that you can clip onto your dogs collar so you can see them in the dark, the ones I brought have a little button thingy on the top that changes the blinking from fast to slow or permanently on and then off, the only problem is, is that the little button is very sensitive so when Murphy (Rottie) and Jesse (GSD) start running around the safety blinker seems to switch off after about 10 seconds (cause it keeps bashing against the dogs id tags). I now know I should of brought ones which have an actual on-off switch.

Have any of you brought a dog flash/safety blinker for your dog, and if so, is it any good and where did you get it from.

Ta very muchly

Hi
I got danny a flashing collar from John Lewis. It has a little row of LED lights along it and is activated by a rubber switch on the inside of the collar. The more the dog move, the brighter the lights get. Great at night! It was only about £10 too although a large one is slightly more (mine is Med)



Button-activated leather effect flashing collar with silver coloured buckle and lead loop. Weather resistant with 100,000 hour bulbs.


Dimensions: L33cm approx

Power supply: Batteries included

I did think of one of those Rob but how would I attach it to the dogs collars, also they may be a bit too big/heavy ?

Stephanie, pm me your address and I'll see if I can find one that we had that I can send you

It's just an ordinary light - not coloured or anything but I'm sure it has a switch on it and it's ever so small - it just attaches like a tag does.

I didn't buy it, it came free when I bought my sister's camera and I've never had to use one with T (if its dark I don't let her off lead and if I do - she glows in the dark anyway!)

So let me know if you want it and I'll try and find it (can't make any promises mind!)

I bought a couple of these and found they did the same.What i did was zip tie the actual light to the top of his harness and solved that problem!
