Dark days are here, and most of us need to face walking in the dark before or after work, so this is the best time to collect a few different options that provide visibility for our dogs!
When thinking about visibility, there are passive or active options: passive being a reflective harness or vest that only lights up when, e.g., a car’s headlight shines on it. Active solutions are different LED collars, leashes, and other lights that you can add to the dog’s gear.
We will cover both categories below. ;)
Embark Pets Illuminate Reflective Set Review
The Illuminate Reflective Set consists of an adjustable H-style harness, a collar, and a leash so you can have a complete matching, high-visibility set. They are made up of Nylon Webbing with an ultra-reflective material allowing the dog to be seen from over 300 feet away by car headlights.
This is a great option to make the dog more visible since you don’t need to add an extra gear to your dog’s closet: it is an excellent quality harness that doubles as a visibility harness when needed!

Beana Aurora Reflective Jacket
The Aurora Reflective Jacket is a thin, highly reflective jacket from non-rustling, water- and dirt-resistant material. Easy to wipe clean and dry when venturing out for a walk in bad weather with low visibility. The whole top section is highly reflective (reflectivity >400 cd/lux*m2), which really makes it pop from far away when light is shone on it.
It is not only visible, but it is a very stylish, patterned vest that looks great in all light conditions.
