Night walks with your pet

Going for night walks is a great way to end the day with your dog. In addition to the more pleasant weather, another benefit of strolling after the sun goes down is that there are often fewer cars and people on the street.

This sounds like an ideal setting for a walk with your best friend; however, it also requires that we remain vigilant and take certain precautions.

SAFE NIGHT WALKS    

Setting schedules to walk our dog will always be subject to the needs of our dog. In the event that we resort to night walks, it is very important that we consider the conditions of the place where we will take our pet.

Although urban spaces are less traveled at night, we must bear in mind that not all places are well lit and this can represent some risks for you and your pet

SPECIALIZED ITEMS FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR DOG

One of the actions that will benefit the night walks with your dog are the illuminated articles for the furry ones, but you can also do your part.    

Medium Red Led Necklace    

You can start by using the Pets & More Red Medium Led Collar which, in addition to being adjustable, is easy to put on. By using it, your pet will be visible to passersby and drivers, but it will also make it easier for you to find it if it goes out into the dark.

It emits led light and has different ignition modes, it also projects continuous or intermittent light at different speeds.     

Leash with Medium Gray Harness    

To complement the collar, it is advisable to use a sturdy leash to prevent your pet from straying too far from you. An excellent choice is the Pets & More Reflective Leash with Medium Gray Harness. It measures 1.20 meters and includes a chest collar, but you can replace it with the led collar without any problem. Reflective straps have become an excellent resource to prevent accidents during day and night walks.      

If you combine these two items, you will get drivers to identify you and your pet, thus reducing the risk of any accident.

For your part, you can avoid wearing dark colors so that motorists see them easily, as well as wearing a reflective vest.    

BENEFITS OF NIGHT WALKS  

Among the benefits of night walks are toning your dog's muscles, oxygenating his heart, and keeping his lungs healthy.  

Something crucial is knowing how to choose the trails and paths that we are going to travel with our pets. Even if we have the right items to go for a walk, it will never hurt to choose well-lit streets, parks and spaces to guarantee our safety and that of our dogs.
