As the Summer approaches in Malta we can feel the temperatures rising day by day. To avoid the scorching summer heat, many dog parents opt for nighttime walks. However, walking your furry friend after dark comes with its own set of challenges. Fear not! We’ve got you covered with essential safety tips and product recommendations to ensure a worry-free stroll with your canine companion.

Enhance Visibility with Reflective Gear

Reflective Collars, Harnesses and Leashes

Visibility is key when walking your dog at night. Make sure both you and your pup are easily seen by others. Reflective strips on pet safety gear will catch light, making your dog visible even in low-light conditions.

Stick to Familiar Routes

When walking your dog at night, choose well-known paths. Familiar routes help prevent surprises and reduce the risk of getting lost. Stick to well-lit sidewalks and avoid poorly lit areas.

Stay Alert to Your Surroundings

Pay attention to your surroundings. Be aware of passing vehicles, cyclists, and other pedestrians. Keep your phone charged in case of emergencies and stay vigilant.
