With dark winter mornings and nights now here, anyone who owns a dog will understand the stresses of going out for a walk. Wet, cold weather, combined with darkness on roads and pathways, considerably affects visibility, and can prove dangerous for both dog and owner if the right precautions aren’t taken.

Now Amazon customers have found a budget £13.59 solution in the shape of the highly-acclaimed MASBRILL Light Up Dog Collar, which has been flooded with five-star ratings. The collar makes you and your dog more visible to cars, cyclists and other pedestrians, which can vastly reduce the risk of any accidents.

Usually costing £16.99, the light-up dog collar has been slashed to £13.59 until Sunday, December 3. You can also get next-day delivery at no extra cost if you are an Amazon Prime member. The comfortable and fully waterproof collar comes with super bright LED lights, with a visibility of up to 500m. It is also fully rechargeable, so there is no worry about battery replacements or any additional costs, just plug it in to charge.

It comes with three modes where you can choose between fast flash, slow flash, on and off mode. What’s more, it works for over eight hours per full charge, meaning you won’t get caught out with a low battery often.

The MASBRILL Light Up Dog Collar comes in four sizes from extra-small to large. As well as a whole host of colours, including pink, purple, red, orange, green and blue.

The light up dog collar has amassed an average rating of 4.4 stars out of five, and has ammased over 25,000 reviews. Customers have applauded the product for its good quality, long battery life and the appearance of the collar.

One customer said: “Absolutely fantastic! Got a large for my GSD and a medium for my Mali, they are really bright, last for hours between charges, and they make the dogs really visible even at distance. We’re very happy with our purchase.”

Another wrote: “It’s the first winter with my rescue furbaby, so wanted to ensure his safety in the dark winter nights. I ordered the green. It is a lovely bright colour and easy to adjust to fit his neck. Would suggest checking the size guide before purchasing. Although it was already charged on receipt, I did put it on charge before using. I have purchased LED collars before but this one is the best. The quality is excellent and feels sturdy which is good when you have a pup that is very scent orientated and rushing into bushes! Very happy with this purchase.”

A third penned: “I was reluctant to buy at first. Thinking it will be just money wasted. Got one last year and I think I charged it only three or four times. Still looks like new. So I am buying one for the puppy, too, this year.”

“Coming into the dark winter nights I was needing ways to be able to spot my dog on her night walks,” another happy customer added. “I spotted this and so far so good. Very helpful for if your dog is off the lead and you need to know where they are. Fits comfortably.”

But one reviewer gave the product a three-star review because it ‘wasn’t bright enough’ for the reviewer’s dog. They wrote: “Decent enough collar, just not as bright/visible long-distance as expected, especially as my dog likes to range quite a long way from me while following scent trails.”

However, another Amazon customer left a glowing five stars out of five and said: “Excellent light up collar for long winter nights. I can see where my dark brown dog is much easier when wearing this. I tend to leave it on the solid light instead of the flash as that might annoy my dog. Charges well and I get 3 long walks per charge also. Would recommend.”

Also proving popular is the £7.99 Joytale Light Up Dog Collar, which flashes for extra impact. Or for something even more visible, Pets at Home’s Canada Pooch Reflective Night Vision Dog Jacket is £20.30.
