For walks at dusk and in the dark

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

01 Reflects incoming light

The reflective details become more visible when hit by, for example, car headlights or a torch.

02 Sleek during the day too

In daylight the collar has a muted look and doesn't need to feel like pure safety equipment.

03 Developed for everyday life

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.

1
Light hits the collar

The light might come from headlights or a torch, for example.

2
The reflective details bounce the light back

The reflected light is directed back towards the light source.

3
Your dog becomes easier to spot

The reflective detail creates a clearer point of light in darker surroundings.

Important: reflective material improves visibility when it is hit by light, but doesn't replace attentiveness, lighting or other visibility gear. Combine several types of reflectors and lights.
Autumn, winter and dark mornings

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.

ON THE DOG Reflective collar

Gives a reflective surface around your dog's neck when light hits the material from the right direction.

ON THE GEAR Harness or leash

More reflective surfaces mean a larger part of you and your dog can catch incoming light.

ON THE OWNER Reflectors and lights

Reflectors on your jacket and legs, plus additional lighting, can create better visibility around you and your dog.

Combine reflectors with light

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.

Reflectors work when light hits the material

Without incoming light, the reflective detail won't be as visible.

Lights can be seen without headlights

A dog light or other light source can complement the reflective detail.

Several reflective surfaces give a clearer overall picture

Remember the owner, the leash and the rest of your dog's gear.

FAQ

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.
