Last year we bought our dogs these amazing LED dog collars.

With a variety of colours you can dress multiple dogs differently for ease of identification; perfect when you have dogs that look similar!
Just as important as making your dog visible, is making sure you also have high visibility. This sash is not only reflective, but with rechargeable LED lights on the front and back, it’s a game changer! The adjustable sizing, and handy clip allow you to walk your dog hands free which is also an added safety feature. Available in three colour choices, you can be safe and fashionable!
Not just for hunting season, now anytime walks all year round just got safer because of this highly visible and reflective dog vest. With water resistant material and the adjustable design features accompanied with numerous reflective strips and patches, this vest will ensure your dog can be seen in the woods, on the road, or anywhere your dog loves to walk and play.

What some find cute can be the next step towards dominance! “He’s licking me, he must like me!”, more likely it means, either the tuna sandwich you had for lunch is still evident on your hands and face or depending on the posture that is going with the licking, he’s submitting or dominating. If he’s licking at the corners of your mouth, he could want you to regurgitate for him!
