Item number: 360134541266

LED Flashing Lights Fancy Cat & Dog Fashion Collars Sm.

Thanks

Ask your vet. We sell them at the surgery and they are available from at least one major vet wholesaler. We have a variety of sizes of flashing collars from £10 to £14 and I use one on my dog. We can get flashing leads and some very nifty collar tags that only light up after dark and only then when the dog is moving.

You can get lights flashing or otherwise on Ebay that fit on the collar. We got one for about three quid (inculding postage) and in the pitch black it looks like your walking a police car. You can also get more stuble ones. They are really great for keeping tabs on your dog in the dark and also warning other people you have a dog.

The batteries on these flashing multicoloured collars lasts only 72 hours
so you will need a stack of batteries no button cell recharger that I know of has been invented yet

Generally speaking your local Vet's is the last place one would go for an item like this because they know how to charge.

Has anyone seen these in Petsmart or Petsco UK equivalent store?
Whats the leading Petstores in the UK?

Thanks

Lots of online sellers have these in the UK - we used to have flashing led collars but OH got worried that it could give the boys an epileptic fit The little lights that you can dangle on their collars flash madly too but have a habit of falling off and being lost.

Online, just google for flashing collar - for example

I use the flashing armbands for cyclists, got them in Tescos for £2.49 (I think) they are adjustable size with velcro fastening and the batteries have lasted all year. They go small enough to fit my JRTs and just about go around the rotties neck but you could extend them with thick elastc I suppose? for the "larger" dog. I can also confirm that you can see the dogs at quite a distance in the dark

I have about 10 of them:o I wear them on my arm and ankle when I'm riding and put them on the trap when I'm driving - not that I do either of those in the dark I hasten to add!

Yes I do know how to charge. :mad: I work out the cost of the collar to me and put on a percentage mark-up that I feel is fair which is standard practice in retail. Tesco's do the same. I only sell top quality products and my flashing collar has lasted 3 years so far and only had to change the battery once. You get what you pay for - if you want to buy cheap then don't expect much quality. Personally I feel £10 for a top quality flashing collar or £6 for an automatic night light is good value. No P&P, bricks and mortar in case you need to return the item and hopefully the vets has an interest in your return business. Sounds like a good place to me but i wont sell you cheap rubbish.

This is quite a good idea too, you just put it over their heads. Wonder if they stay on ok though?
