Greetings! It's getting close to the Holiday season, so in the spirit as such, I thought I’d post a BLOG series of Hamish’s “Favorite Things” or equally titled, "helpful things to get a Labrador."
Let’s start with orange reflective vests. They come with secure velcro attachments for under the dog's torso and around the neck. (Hamish sure loves wearing his! That’s him wearing his in the photograph.) These reflective vests are inexpensive and wear very well over time proving they can tolerate mud, water, snow, all manner of wintery mix and adventuring just fine.
With winter trail hiking and nearby river and lake swims, the bright orange color helps identify and keep Hamish safer in our area which supports many hunting sports.
Equally helpful during these winter early morning and evening town walks, the reflective vest allows Hamish to be more easily recognized. Without some reflection, with his solid black fur, Hamish disappears into these many more dark wintery hours when we are out and about and these vests are just the ticket.
I have purchased these reflective pet vests in the past from Tractor Supply and online at Chewy and Amazon too. These vests are inexpensive and last season after season. Check them out!
