Haven't used them personally but I am seriously considering getting one when it gets darker again. Sam's friend who is an older choccie lab with dodgy hearing has one - her owner loves it - he says she's impossible to find in the park or fields in the winter as she blends in too well otherwise!
Good to know they run off duracell batteries
Helen - I LOVE the happystaffy shop its fab - really good looking site with fab products only trouble is I could easily spend a fortune, not got a staffy but I figured if the toys were staffy-proof they'd probably be sammy-proof!
I did measure as specified, which is how I got the 53cm, it's just the 50cm still gapes quite a bit so wondered what sizes others were using.
What sort of size is Milo? Tess is very small only 21kg so i am guessing, without measuring yet, that i may need to get a smaller size than i think.
The website does mention that the size of the collar is 3cm more than the measured/advertised size. I presume so it goes over the head with ease. so i may take a few cm off what i measure when i order. I don't really want to buy it and lose it first lime out.
Milo's 34kg's but he's very tall and lean. The collar does have a little canvas clip to hold it in place, but it doesn't look as sturdy as the collar itself. It does fit easily over his head, but I think the 45cm will probably be a bit tight....I think I'm going to persevere with the 50cm, as he's 14 months and there's a chance he could fill out some more yet, I think I might just have to look into getting something more sturdy to hold it in place. Light looks fab though
I measured, many times over and followed the guide but they are still a little bigger than i'd like (ie Basils has a 50 and Nell a 45 but Nells collar fits Basil better than his own).
However, we don't use them for walks and although they hang loose i'm pretty sure there'd have to shake a lot and hard to lose them.
We use ours for bedtime wees in the garden (the dogs disappear into darkness at the bottom of the garden otherwise). I like that they just quickly pop on and off, easier than a clip collar.
it's quite funny watching the moving lights around the garden and when we first got them both dogs stood in a mexican stand off at each other as if to say ' wow what's that light around your neck '
Got mine from Hi-lost webby and they arrived very fast
Never used them on mine because of the price (I tend to just stick to the hi-vis vests), but I do drive past some dog walkers in the evenings on a dark lane who use them. So, speaking as a driver, they are pretty good and can be seen for quite a distance.

Well they have arrived this morning and i'd managed to get the sizes right so it's so far so good. They look really good and can't wait for it to get dark tonight to try them out.
