Peach Tries the Safe Glow Dog Collar

A while back a representative from Cade Ryan asked me if Peach would like to try and review one of their new LED dog training collars. Their information on the product:

"The Safe Glow dog collar ($29.95 retail value) is made of wear-resistant nylon and houses a flexible, light-transmitting polymer core that illuminates when the collar is turned on. A reflective stripe adds additional safety by providing passive reflectivity. The collar is powered by a super-efficient (100,000 hour) LED bulb. With three different settings and a durable clasp, we believe the Safe Glow dog collar will become the collar of choice for evening or early morning walks."

We requested a medium sized collar per the site's size chart but we found it to be too large for Peach. She's a "skinny pug" but it is highly adjustable so we hope she will grow into it over the next year. It would be helpful to have the size chart measure in inches instead of by breed since dogs of even the same breed can vary greatly in size.
The collar has a non-safety latch buckle-style clasp so if you use it as a collar to attach a lead to, it will not snap off when your dog sees a rabbit or any other distraction on your walk. There is a sturdy metal loop on the back of the collar for the lead; I believe this placement will protect the LED, buckle and on/off button features; it seems to be a low stress point on the collar.
Peach got used to the collar pretty quickly even though the medium size was roomy enough to slip over her head. She usually does not like to wear things that are too small nor too big so I was glad she allowed us to give it a try. We used it as a supplemental collar over top of her usual harness and still enjoyed the safety feature of the LED light. It also looks really cool at night!
The LED is brightest on the same side as the on/off button. It appears to "fade" towards the other side but once it is warmed up and on in a dark surrounding, it glows well all around. The collar has several settings: constant glow, slow flash, fast flash and off. To activate the different settings, you simply continue to click the on/off button until you arrive at your desired setting. They all function very well and look adorable. I don't know what other colors are available but we received a lime green collar (mommy's favorite!) and the LED matched the collar color so it looks great in the light without the LED on as well.

We didn't take any video of Peach outside in the collar but we shut the lights off in the house to get a few seconds of the LED settings in action.

I think Peach likes the collar now; it might even make her feel a bit fancy. It would be a great and safe addition to any pup's Halloween Costume for the upcoming Holiday!
