Nite Ize NiteHowl LED Safety Necklace Dog Collar review

Features

  • Best slip-on collar
  • 360 visibility
  • 60 hours battery life

If you’re on the hunt for the best waterproof LED dog collar, then the Nite Ize NiteHowl LED Safety Necklace Dog Collar is an excellent choice. 2 bright colorful LEDs inside the collar that can be seen from every angle ensure maximum visibility. You have the choice to switch between 2 modes: glow and flash, further enhancing visibility.

The collar slips over your dog’s head easily and has customizable sizing so you can fit it to your dog’s neck perfectly. It’s not designed to be used as a collar to attach a leash, but rather as an addition to your usual collar or harness for nightly walks. The collar is durable and water-resistant, designed to last and stand-up walks in all weathers.

This collar runs on replaceable batteries, with each battery change giving you a running time of up to 60 hours. I found these collars were very bright and I could see my dogs from quite a distance away. I also found the color choice handy, as I could have a different color for each of my 3 dogs, so it was easy to keep track of where each individual was when they were off lead at night.

  • Customizable fit, with many owners saying it fit their dogs of all breeds from toy to large breeds
