Advantages: Easy to use, effective, high range visibility LED lights, good value.

Disadvantages: None for me but I suppose your pet may not like.

Walking my dogs in the early evening, a while ago, I saw a strange apparition heading toward us. From way across the local field something was heading straight for us and it was moving fast, if not a little haphazardly. The twinkling lights flashed away and I was totally puzzled when all of a sudden a huge, but friendly, labrador appeared out of the darkness. The owner followed a short time later.

It soon became obvious that the lights were coming from this dog's collar and I was both fascinated and amused. The dog just looked so funny and yet this collar made so much sense. Even if you keep your dog on its lead all of the time a little extra light will help. Mine run about on extendable leads so these lights are useful.

However if you allow your dog to run free these collars are very useful during the darker months. My dogs are allowed to run free and off their leads at certain places and these lights enable me to see just where they are. This is especially useful if your dog tends to ignore your calls and you have to go and seek him.
Of course you should always be sensible about when and where you let your dog roam and about your own safety if you are in the habit of taking a walk in a secluded area. In winter time I tend to take my dogs to different walking areas and keep them on their leads more.

However just when you are just doing a simple task such as crossing a road with your dog the K9 Lites collar will help your dog tp be seen as much as you. If your dog is jet black or very dark brown, for example, he or she may be hard to spot.

The collar is a plastic covered luminous yellow material which fastens around your dog's neck with a velcro fastening. This means that it is easy to adjust to size. At one end there is a little silver coloured button that you press to activate the lights. The lights are small but spaced out evenly around the collar. The battery will need to be changed eventually but mine has not yet.

There are a couple of different sized collars on sale and they are suitable for Tiddles as well as Rover. I bought mine from a local pet shop for a couple of quid.

Recommended as a good practical and safety conscious gift. Remember though it does not give you a licence to be silly about when and where you walk your dog.

Thanks for reading

I got one of these for Pig but cos her neck's so fat, I have to velcro it through her collar instead - ruins the ufo effect but still works! Great review
