To be safe, you and your pets have to be seen. This can become more difficult during Fall and Winter as daylight decreases and walks or outdoor explorations occur in low-light conditions. Thankfully, Coastal Pet Products has the well-being of your furry friends in mind with our offering of products that shine a light on safety.

One of the easiest ways to ensure the safety of your indoor/outdoor cats is to make them more visible, particularly to drivers who most likely won’t spot them when it’s dark outside until it’s too late. Cats are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk. In other words, cats that have access to the outdoors are most likely to be roaming their neighborhood streets during these two low-light times of day.

Late afternoon visits to the dog park, evening games of fetch in the front yard, nighttime jogs. Having outdoor fun with your dog isn't limited to daylight hours. But staying safe once the sun goes down requires a little preparation, like outfitting your dog with highly-visible accessories.

It’s been a long summer of lazy days, outdoor adventures and getting to stretch your legs far into the evening with plenty of light. Now the days are getting shorter and both you and your dog are feeling those late evening walks coming to an end. That doesn’t have to happen yet!

As the nights grow warmer, dusk and nighttime walks become more common. Our dogs love to be outside chasing fireflies and enjoying the outdoors with us. Walking and adventuring in the evening can pose a safety concern for you and your pet.
