Keep your dog on a leash if you're walking in the dark. You definitely don't want your pup running off where you can't see him, and this will also help protect against unexpected vehicles that could pose a danger to your pet. Reflective clothing is also recommended – for both dogs and owners. This will ensure that you and your dog are visible to any passing drivers, cyclists or even other pedestrians. There are many products designed for just this purpose, including reflective leads, collars, and jackets. These are definitely worth the investment. It's also useful to carry a small torch if you don't already have this feature on your cell phone.
