Although it’s not mandatory, using lights on your dog is a highly recommended safety measure at night and in low light conditions, like fog or heavy rain. Increasing your dog’s visibility to other dog walkers, motorists, and pedestrians can help reduce accidents. If you let your dog off leash to enjoy open spaces at night, using a sa ..read more
