Keeping Your Dog Safe with Lighted Collar During Emergency Weather Situations

This post is sponsored by Canine Care Products.

As you know from the news reports, this has been a long, long week in Central Texas. We spent much of last Saturday night up and listening to weather broadcasts and receiving tornado and flash flood warnings. In this part of the state, very few people have basements; we are all instructed to get to an interior room or bathroom without windows in case of an incoming tornado.

On Saturday night as a reported tornado approached our home, we prepared to get in an interior closet with our dogs and cats. Our cats (including little Lucky who came home from bladder stone surgery Saturday morning) were each in cat carriers. Our dogs were on leash, but we knew that, in the case of destruction, we needed even more protection for Irie and Tiki.

We placed Canine Care Products lighted collars and leashes on the dogs in case, should the roof come off the house and the dogs become separated from us, we could find them in the dark.

The lighted dog collar has a small pack that uses two CR2032 batteries to allow up to 100 hours operating time of the LED strip. (And check out the pricing on the collars–just $5.20-$6.00, depending on size, and this includes the batteries!)

The lighted dog leash works in a similar way and can be set to glow constantly or to flash. The lighted dog harness, which we haven’t yet tried, also features a battery-operated strip of LED lights that can flash at your choice of two speeds.
