From a full-coverage vest that will help you spot your best friend from 500 feet away, to glow-in-the-dark balls that will illuminate your after-hours fetch sessions, you’ll be sure to find an item that fits your nighttime visibility needs.

It‘s important to note that this isn’t a chew toy. It does have two holes to keep your dog’s tongue from getting stuck.
