Will Dogs Find the "Pet Glow Collar" Too Flashy? A Japanese Pet Owner's Experiment Reveals the Answer...

Many dog owners worry about their pets getting lost or involved in accidents during nighttime walks. To address this concern, LED dog collars have been invented. These collars contain embedded LED lights that illuminate, enhancing visibility. However, a new concern arises: might these collars be too flashy or uncomfortable for dogs to wear? Recently, a Japanese dog owner conducted an experiment to find out.

Experiment and Feedback

A Japanese Twitter user, nicknamed "King Kufu", wanted to ensure that the LED collar wouldn't be uncomfortable for his dog's eyes. He decided to conduct a personal experiment by wearing the collar himself and walking like a dog at night. His findings were as follows: "Don't worry about the LED collar being too bright for the dog's eyes. I wore it myself and walked like a dog on the road at night." He added, "Visually, I prefer the steady light mode over the flashing one."

His experiment sparked a lively discussion among netizens. Many praised him as a model dog owner, while others joked about his unusual method of testing. Some owners shared similar experiences of testing the collars themselves, though not necessarily by walking like dogs.

Reactions from the Community

Reactions from the Japanese community were mixed. Some comments included: "A model dog owner! He's using himself as a test subject," and "I often see people walking their dogs at night; if both the owner and dog are wearing black, it can be very dangerous." Others found humor in his method, suggesting it might lead to misunderstandings about his behavior.

Despite the varied reactions, the experiment highlighted the importance of considering both safety and comfort when using LED dog collars. For those interested in trying similar experiments, it's advisable to do so in less crowded areas.
