Stay Visible, Stay Safe: The Importance of Night Visibility

Three Pillars of Safety
Visibility
The lights integrated into our products are designed to increase visibility, helping to reduce stress about being seen in low-light conditions.
Durability
Our products are made with high-quality materials engineered to withstand strong pulling and wear, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance.
Stability
The Glowhound belt is designed to enhance your centre of gravity with the goal of minimizing the risk of falling.
While many people enjoy the calmness of late-night walks, the potential danger is often underestimated.
There are 3 primary factors that influence the safety of your evening walks & 2/3 are out of your control.
Slow Reaction Time
Drivers have just a few seconds to react to an obstacle in the road. In low-light conditions, those few seconds can make all the difference.
Distracted & Tired Driving
At night, drivers may be more fatigued or distracted, making them less alert to pedestrians & their dogs.
Poorly Lit Roads
Many popular dog-walking routes, like parks or suburban streets, have inadequate lighting.
What You Can Control
While you can’t control how drivers behave at night, you can take action to make yourself and your dog more visible. A well-lit dog walker is a seen dog walker. Enhancing your visibility gives drivers the best chance to react in time, helping prevent accidents before they happen.
Use a light source
Clip-on lights or light-up gear ensure you're visible from all angles.
Wear reflective clothing
A reflective jacket or vest can make you stand out in headlights.
Stick to well-lit paths
Whenever possible, choose routes with streetlights or park pathways with lighting.
Walk facing traffic
This helps you see oncoming cars and react faster.
