The results of a survey conducted for Petty Tomo members show that many owners take their pets for walks in the evening and night.
1How can I enjoy a night walk safely?
In places with few street lights or at intersections with poor visibility, it may be difficult to see the owner or dog from pedestrians, bicycles, or cars passing by.
Therefore, owners need to take measures to make their surroundings noticed, such as by wearing clothing that stands out in the dark and choosing roads with a lot of street traffic.

2Make your presence known to those around you
Use lights or items that reflect light to make your dog's presence lower than other people's eye level known to those around him, so that he can be noticed even on dark roads or at intersections with poor visibility.
Pet owners can also help prevent accidents by wearing conspicuous clothing and items that reflect light to make their presence known to cars and other pedestrians.
3Recommended goods for night walks
Night Walker Flash Ring/Flash Point
An accessory that lets you know your dog's presence in dark places. It is waterproof so you can also use it for walks on rainy days.
There are two types to choose from: the ``Flash Ring'' that can be worn around the neck, and the ``Flash Point'' that can be attached to a harness or leash.
Flash Soft Lead / Harness / Color
It uses double-sided reflective tape that reflects light, so you can feel safe walking on dark streets. Made of soft material, this item is gentle for both dogs and owners.
love harness
A harness with reflective material that is perfect for night walks. Made of mesh material that is dog-friendly, and comes with a handle for peace of mind even when it suddenly jumps out.
4Take proper safety measures to enjoy evening walks with your dog.
Visibility is poorer at night than during the day, so when walking at night, it becomes difficult for pedestrians, bicycles, and cars to see you and your dog.
Make your dog's presence known to those around you by using glowing or reflective items to enjoy a safe night walk.
