A collar which saves a life of human and a dog which helps avoid accidents in dark , TYD reflective collars are designed for dog safety. These collars reflect light that fall on them, hence serving as a warning to drivers on roads, who are unable to spot strays at night.
Everyday, approximately 3-6 dogs meet with an accident due to poorly lit areas while they cross the roads. A survey revealed that 90% of vehicle owners couldn't spot a dog or cattle in the dark, and visibility is still an issue. They are mostly found in places which are not equipped with street lights. These stray dogs are devoid of proper shelter and can thus be found meandering at nights. Figures as per a census report by The Animal Husbandry Department show that in the urban areas, there were 25,10,169 stray dogs while in rural areas, there was 1,46,28,180 stray dogs. TYD reflective collars help the drivers notice dogs crossing the road by reflecting the light that falls on them. Available for under $1, TYD collars are highly pocket-friendly, and can be bought by all strata of the society for their pets and for the street dogs as well.
The collar is fashioned from fabric material and reflective cloth stitched manually with the efforts of 4 people in the team who source, market and ship the collars and organise collaring campaigns. The collar glows like a tubelight and reflects when a beam of light falls on it in the dark. It is sun-proof, mud-proof, water-proof and is available for under $1.
The reflective collars help in reducing the number of accidents, thereby saving lives and restoring balance to the ecosystem.
A collar that's developed for under $1 can be easily accessed by people from all levels of the society, for their pets and the strays.
