When the sun goes down, your dog is virtually invisible to fast-moving cars, curious wildlife, and other night-time dangers. But a reflective dog collar, harness, or vest can make all the difference when it comes to worry-free walking after dark. Some of these options increase your dog’s visibility even more with embedded USB-charged LED lights.

We’ve rounded up some of the best reflective dog gear on the market, from collars woven with 3M reflective material, to neon harnesses with reflective designs, to eye-catching lightweight vests. These illuminating options will help keep your dog safe into the gloaming and beyond.

Be sure to measure your dog before purchasing to ensure the right fit.
