Focus on safety - stay visible

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer: autumn is coming and with it the dangers of the dark. So that you can continue to take your dog for a carefree walk early in the morning or late at night, we recommend products that make you both visible and protect you.
With night falling earlier and daylight rising later, outings with your dog become more dangerous, especially in autumn. Street corners or bends with poor visibility and no lighting, poorly signposted pedestrian crossings or woodland paths overgrown with trees and bushes: danger is everywhere. The risk of not being seen in time can have serious consequences.
So you don't have to leave two hours later or get home early from the office, we have a range of lighting products for dogs. Collars with reflectors and those with integrated lights protect your dog - and, of course, you too. Illuminated waistcoats are also an effective way of making your companion visible to motorists, cyclists and other potential hazards.
Reflective vests
Fluorescent-coloured waistcoats with reflectors - and sometimes even built-in LEDs - allow your dog to walk safely when it's dark outside. If it's already very late (or very early in the morning), a waistcoat will not only make you visible, but will also keep your pooch warm. A win-win situation.
Luminous collars
Collars can also be used to let other road users know that your four-legged friend is out and about. They're also available in flashy, eye-catching colours, with reflectors and LEDs. For those who don't want to spend too much, there are LED pendants. You can hang them on your dog's collar, turn them on before a walk and draw attention to your dog.

Protective clothing
Of course, other reflectors attached to or already integrated into your clothing offer you both extra protection. You'll find everything you need at Galaxus. You can also take a torch with you on a walk. On the one hand, it helps you find your pet's favourite toy and, on the other, it allows you to be clearly visible.
