Keep your pooch safe and seen during evening walkies with the best reflective dog coats

Ensure your dog stays visible with the REFLECT360 Reflective Waterproof Dog Jacket. This jacket is fully reflective, making it perfect for low-light walks on gloomy days, in the evening, or during foggy conditions. By day, it appears a modest grey, but at night, the fabric lights up when exposed to headlights or a flashlight, turning entirely reflective.

It is highly reflective and easy to put on, featuring an adjustable neck and chest strap for a snug, comfortable fit without restricting movement. Holly Yeeles, our Affiliate Business Development Executive, and Bob the Labrador, tested this coat for Take a Break Pets and found that the large size was a little on the small side for Bob. It fits, but she felt Bob would be more comfortable if it were ever so slightly larger. For this reason, we'd recommend double-checking the size guide before you order, as it does seem to run a bit small. There’s even a harness attachment hole, so your dog can still wear their usual gear, allowing you to attach a lead through the jacket. While it may not be the most stylish choice, it stands out for its safety and reflectivity, making it a smart pick for visibility. It's also waterproof, so it's great for wet walkies, too.

Keep your pooch cosy and seen with this padded and insulated Fetch Padded Dog Coat from TOG24. One side of the coat is completely reflective, so when you're heading out on walkies when it's dark, it'll keep your pooch seen by cars, cyclists, and pedestrians. Turn it inside the other way, and it's in a stylish pink, icy grey, and blue colour and has a padded exterior to ensure your pooch stays warm throughout the winter, even when it's not dark outside.

When it comes to putting it on, it can be a little fiddly, as our Senior Writer, Rosie Floyd, discovered when trying to put it on her Cockapoo pup, Bella. It has a zip from the top of the collar all the way down to the bottom with no other fastening. It can be hard to hold the coat and your dog in place to get the zip to meet in the middle. We like that this coat is padded yet lightweight and offers two different looks in one, and there's also a human coat version available so you can match with your pooch. We've tested and linked to a size medium, but it's available in an extra small, small, large and extra large, plus a choice of khaki, purple berry and blue.

Your pooch will be completely protected from the elements while being completely visible by wearing the Reflective All-Weather Waterproof Space Coat Dog Rain Coat from FunnyFuzzy. This coat is made in a full wrap design, with coverage for the legs and even a hood for their face, with waterproof fabric so it's water, dirt and windproof. As well as being excellent in all autumn-winter weather, this coat will allow your pooch to be seen and stay safer in the dark, as it's made from a highly reflective material that is reflective in even dim environments.

With this coat having fuller coverage, it may feel more restrictive for some pooches as they may not enjoy having it cover all four legs. However, you can slowly introduce them to it and get them to wear it for short periods at home, building it up to get used to it before you actually go out on a walk. This will be worth it in the end because it'll save you a lot of time in getting your pooch cleaned up after a wet and muddy walk. We also like that this coat is size-inclusive, with the range starting at a small and going up to an XXL.

Your pooch will definitely be seen when they're wearing the Pets at Home Reflective High Vis Padded Dog Coat. The bright yellow reflective body and silver reflective belly band will ensure your pup stands out from the crowd when you're out for walkies in low-light conditions. It's easy to put on, with elasticated straps and Velcro fastenings, making the fit adjustable and secure. The coat isn't overly heavy either, so it won't restrict your pup's movement. This means it may not be the warmest reflective coat on our list, but there is also a bit of padding in there for some insulation.

It comes in three different sizes, so it's suitable for dogs weighing up to 28kg, including Labradors, Border Collies and Staffies. When it comes to keeping it clean, it's not suitable for popping in the washing machine, but you can hand wash it as it's the kind of material that any mud and other dirt should wipe straight off.

Considering the Canada Pooch Night Vision Reflective Jacket Dog Coat is made entirely from reflective silver, it's still a very stylish number. In fact, it sort of reminds us of a 90s shell suit. It's lightweight, so your pup will be comfy wearing it no matter the length of your outdoor adventures. It's a pull-on-style reflective dog jacket with little sleeves to help keep it in place while you do up the zipper on the side. It has also got a little pocket on the back that you can use to keep your dog's favourite treats or poop bags in.

The biggest thing to be mindful of with this coat is the sizing. It's available in sizes XXX-Small, XX-Small and X-Small, so you'd think this would be best suited to small dogs, but then it's pictured on a larger breed. For this reason, we'd recommend checking out the size chart before you order so you can compare your dog's measurements to it to see if it'll fit.

For those looking for a reflective dog coat on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Muddy Paws Ultimate Reflective Dog Coat, which is under £20. It's fully and highly reflective in low-light conditions, so you can go out for walks during winter evenings, foggy mornings and dull, rainy afternoons with peace of mind that your pup can be safely seen. It is also reflective, and the material it's made from is water-resistant. It has a fleece lining inside to keep your pooch nice and warm while out and about.

To help with the overall fit of the coat, it's equipped with an elasticated neck and leg straps. Some dogs may not like the feeling of having leg straps around them, even though they are thin. These can be fiddly to put on, too, so keep that in mind if you've got a dog that can be a bit wriggly when trying to put walking accessories on them. For practicality purposes, there's a zippered harness hole in the coat, so you can easily attach a lead and a chest protector to help keep your pooch clean and dry.

If it's not quite cold enough for a full-on coat but still dark outside, this RUFFWEAR Lumenglow High-Vis Jacket will be what your pooch needs to ensure they're still seen. Firstly, it's designed with vibrant orange and yellow colours to ensure your pooch stands out even when it's not so dark. It also has reflective strips to increase visibility when night falls. While it's not fully reflective like all the coats we've featured on this list, the combination of the reflective strips and bright colours make this a stand-out choice.

Ruffwear is a brand known for making dog gear that enhances outdoor adventures and this jacket will do exactly that. It's water-resistant and abrasion-resistant for added comfort and durability, whether you're heading out on a walk around the block or heading further afield for a hike in the great outdoors with your pup. Reviewers online rate this coat highly for its brightness but also for the overall quality of the materials used to make it.
