Safety Lights

Living Life Out Here, there’s a lot to keep track of — the trusty family dog, especially. For knowing where our canine companions are, whether during a hunt or just down on the farm, a dependable safety light can make all the difference. At Tractor Supply, we stock a wide selection, plus plenty of other outdoor dog gear.

Keep Your Dog Safer After Dark

A safety light can make keeping an eye on that hound you love easier at night or in dim conditions. This is especially the case when hunting, used with a keychain or bike-mounted light, or combined with a whistle or GPS tracking collar. It’s usually small and lightweight, often a bright LED light that clips onto a collar, harness or leash, so it’s more comfortable for a dog to wear and you to carry. It can have different modes, such as steady or flashing, which can help other people see it better, reducing the risk of you and your dog getting into an accident.

Durability to Withstand the Elements

Many safety lights for dogs are rugged and weather-resistant, usually made of durable polycarbonate, stainless steel, ABS plastic, nylon or silicone components. These repel moisture and withstand some wear and tear.

Power Options for a Longer Life

Dog safety lights are battery-powered, so keeping them ready to use is easy. Those with lithium-ion batteries are usually rechargeable, can last a few hours per charge and may sometimes be plugged into USB ports to recharge. Those with replaceable power sources often run on watch or button batteries that can swap out quickly. Others run on magnetic power, with no need for a battery or charging, but some might charge on a dock. Whatever your preference, you can find the perfect fit for your preferences.

Designs to Get Attention

Whether you’re a dog owner with a style preference, or your pooch needs a high-visibility design in the field, pet safety lights come in lots of different colors, shapes and sizes to cater to both of you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Safety Lights

What kinds of dog safety lights are there?

Many are free-hanging or attachable LEDs that are worn on their collars. Other options, such as reflective collars and motion-activated lights, can make a dog even more visible to drivers and pedestrians.

Are LED lights safe for dogs?

Most colored LEDs shouldn’t hurt their eyes. Non-flashing light modes can be more comfortable, especially for sensitive dogs or those with underlying conditions. Many dogs tolerate red LEDs, but as with humans, blue light may affect their sleep patterns. Consult a veterinarian or other animal healthcare professional for advice on what’s best for your dog.

How do I choose the right safety light for my dog?

Consider his or her size, their breed and its temperament and preferences, how bright the light is and the dog’s reaction to intense lighting. Also figure out whether you (and he or she) prefer the light attached to a collar, harness or otherwise.
