Polybrite Collars for Pet Safety

Active people lead a very active lifestyle as well. The weather conditions play a major effect on a person’s lifestyle. Summer and spring times offer a variety of activities such as biking, hiking and many other outdoor activities. However when the winter months come (Novermber, December, January and February), people tend to stay indoors especially at night. It is not only because of the weather that drives people to stay indoors but a major concern here is that pedestrian accidents usually increase during the night. People who take care of pets usually have a routine of walking outdoors to give both the owner and pet their normal dose of healthy exercise. This typically happens before dawn or after dusk. The constant nagging fear on these owners is the safety of their pets especially from motorists who in fact, have decreased visibility when driving at night.

Instead of staying indoors with a very unhappy pet, likewise the owner who feels trapped and immobile, companies have developed a product that allows them to enjoy their usual routine walks with the Polybrite collars especially designed for pet safety. Flashing dog collars are doing well in the market because it sets to ease pet lovers’ nagging fear of accidents. It increases visibility through an advanced polymer/LED technology. Inside the nylon sleeve is a blinking red light or a steady or fixed glow which becomes perceptible within a mile at night in no-light or low light scenarios.

The real advantage of having the Polybrite collar on is that it provides 280 degrees of lighting. In addition, the benefit of having the collar made of reflective material (aside from the collar itself, the stitches are also made to be reflective also) is that even when the light is turned off, the  pet wearing a Polybrite collar can still be easily seen within 600 feet. This significant increase in visibility of pets will give motorists sufficient time to maneuver their vehicles away from pets’ harm. Moreover, the pet owners would find an easier time in finding lost pets inthe deep underbrush.

In addition to the visibility benefit offered by the Polybrite collar, it is also very light in weight and can stand most weather conditions. It has an uncomplicated release buckle which can easily be removed in a matter of seconds. The simplicity in adjusting the size of the collar makes no considerable difference in the size of the pet, whether it is a big one or a small one. The D-ring can easily match with all regular leashes.  The light on the collar is powered by a standard watch battery which is said to last for around 200 hours.

Speaking of safety, the size of the collar is directly linked to safety. Be sure to fit the collar high on the neck of the pet. In addition, three fingers should fit between the neck and the collar for a snug fit. When the collar is too loose, there is the risk of it slipping off or it might catch on something. On the other hand, if it’s too tight, it might cause discomfort on the pet which might result in coughing or breathing complications. As a word of caution, the Polybrite collar is normally used as a complement collar to the primary restraining collar.
