Walking your dog in the dark,Safety equiptment?

Hi Guys,
Iv just ordered Greg a reflective flashing collar for walking, seen as though soon both his daily walks will be in the dark .
I also have some reflectors to attach to his harness.
Just wondered what anyone else uses to make sure there dog can be seen?

Adele

I have these little things which easily clip onto collar.They really are insanely bright which flash different colours on each flash-Vegas looks like a hyperactive UFO running about! They are visible for hundreds of yards and you really would have to be blind as a bat to miss him! I got them from E-Bay for about £5 (pair).

Thanks Steve, i might invest in one of those too! I worry as Greg is black that people wont see him, or me for that matter!

Having him lit up like a christmas tree also guides me in to where he's doing a poo so i can clear it up unlike some selfish gits round here who use darkness as an excuse not to scoop.
