 For stuffed baby hippo, December 10 ,2009
W. Toner (Maryland, USA) says that:
I got this as it came up as an "also bought" item for the stuffed mom & baby hippo toys that are popular for making farting hippo like in NCIS TV show. This collar fits the baby hippo, is way too small for the mom hippo these customers may be after. Works well enough, nothing wrong with it other than I ended up with a too small size for the momma, I shoudl have paid more attention. Just as well, I got an electronic fart sounder that will fit inside baby after removing the plastic shell and getting a smaller speaker. :)

Product Overview and Summary

The Nite Ize LED Nylon Safety Dog Collar is great for dogs that are active at night because the patented L.E.D. illumination is visible up to 1000 feet in the dark. Recommended uses include early morning and late evening walks, camping, hiking, playing in the yard, and playing at the local park. The L.E.D. illumination has two modes: steady glow and flashing (which is ideal for dogs in high traffic areas). In addition to the LED illumination, the nylon dog collar comes with a metal D-ring and quick-release buckle. Instructions are included that detail how to replace batteries and customize the fit of the collar. The Nite Ize LED Nylon Safety Dog Collar is available in three neck sizes: small 10 to 13 inches, medium 13 to 18 inches, and large 18 to 27 inches.

Customer Experience and Opinions

 Good collar-- light could be brighter but it works well., February 06 ,2010
Cate (Puget Sound, Washington, United States) says:
This collar is just as advertised. I gave it four stars instead of five because the light could be brighter and would probably work best on a dog with shorter hair, like a lab. The large size fits our Scottish Deerhound, but his coat is rather long around his neck and it covers this collar a bit, reducing its brightness. The collar is adjustable but to make it smaller, you need to trim the collar; in other words, it doesn't adjust to fit like the standard nylon collar. The collar comes with instructions for trimming it; the process is straightforward but takes some time.

 Good idea...???, December 25 ,2009
C. Ingstad (Long Beach, CA) thinks:
The thought is a great idea. I have a black lab that loves the park for running. Because we walk him a lot of times when it's dark, we needed some way of tracking him easily. The lighted collar works really well with a new battery, but that probably last for about 4-5hrs. and then becomes very faint. Again, it is a great idea, but doesn't stay bright for as long as we would like it to.

 Hard to Cut Down to Size, November 29 ,2009
D. Dodge says:
The big problem with this product is the way that it is packaged. The packaging folds the internal plastic thus leaving kinks in it. Thus when the light hits the kinks it is scattered and the collar becomes darker after each kink. There are two kinks, so the collar is nice and bright, hits the first kink becomes duller, and then hits the second kink and becomes even duller.

The other problem is having to cut it down to size. It took over an hour to get the plastic light piece back into the collar. Very frustrating. Had to put it down several times..

Product definitely needs better instructions.

Can the plastic be put in hot water to remove the kinks?
Is there an easy way to reinsert the plastic.

Product appears that it would be great except for the comments above.
