Reflective dog collars
A dog collar with reflective details helps your dog be seen when light hits the material. Don Lorino's reflective collars combine visibility with soft padding and a sleek design.
Made for darker walks
The reflective details become more visible when hit by, for example, car headlights or a torch.
In daylight the collar has a muted look and doesn't need to feel like pure safety equipment.
The padded neoprene lining gives a soft inside for daily autumn and winter walks.
How reflective dog collars work
Reflective material doesn't create its own light. It reflects light back towards the light source when, for example, car headlights or a torch hit the material.
This means the reflective details can be seen more clearly by the person close to the light source. The effect therefore depends on light actually being directed at the collar.
The light might come from headlights or a torch, for example.
The reflected light is directed back towards the light source.
The reflective detail creates a clearer point of light in darker surroundings.
Visibility throughout the walk
The reflective collar sits close to your dog's body and moves with it. For a more visible pair, the owner – and ideally more of the dog's gear – also needs to be visible.
Gives a reflective surface around your dog's neck when light hits the material from the right direction.
More reflective surfaces mean a larger part of you and your dog can catch incoming light.
Reflectors on your jacket and legs, plus additional lighting, can create better visibility around you and your dog.
Soft inside, easy-care outside
The reflective collar is made of vegan PU leather with a padded neoprene lining. This combination gives a smooth outside and a softer surface against your dog's neck.

A reflective collar is one part of your dog's visibility. On really dark walks, it can be wise to add more reflective surfaces and active lighting.
Without incoming light, the reflective detail won't be as visible.
A dog light or other light source can complement the reflective detail.
Remember the owner, the leash and the rest of your dog's gear.
About reflective dog collars
How does a reflective collar work?
The reflective details reflect light back towards the light source when hit by, for example, car headlights or a torch. This can make your dog easier to spot in darker surroundings.
Does a reflective collar light up by itself?
No. Reflective material needs to be hit by light to reflect. It shouldn't be confused with a lamp or a glow-in-the-dark material.
Does my dog need more reflectors than the collar?
A reflective collar is a good complement, but visibility is affected by where the collar sits, your dog's coat and the direction of the light. More reflective surfaces and active lighting can make you and your dog more visible.
What material are Don Lorino's reflective collars made of?
The collar has an outside of vegan PU leather, woven-in reflective details and a padded neoprene lining on the inside.
Can the reflective collar handle rain?
The material is dirt- and water-repellent and doesn't easily absorb water. Let the collar dry after wet walks and follow the product's care instructions.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your dog's neck where the collar will sit and compare the measurement with the size table. Choose by neck circumference and check the fit when the collar arrives.
Can reflective details replace a dog light?
No. Reflectors and lights serve different purposes. Reflectors need to be lit from outside, while a dog light creates its own light.
