Our inspiration, Buddy.

We have Buddy to thank for illumidog. He was a jet-black spunky pit-mix that we fostered from Lane County Animal Shelter (LCAS). We both have full time jobs and couldn’t find the time to walk Buddy during the day, so most days we would take Buddy out for a stroll after dark. Neither of us felt too safe ourselves, or for the dark black pooch in our care during those walks.

We googled and searched local stores for reflective collars to make our trips a little safer, but each collar we found left a lot to be desired, as none of them were very bright. That is when we discovered SOLAS reflective tape, which looked like glowing liquid silver when we tested it with our headlights.

Since we made our first collar, Buddy found his forever home, we found two perfect pooches for us (Cheddar and Kaiya) who have one of our collars and a Photon X-Light around their necks at all times.

We give a portion of our hours every week to photographing the dogs at LCAS, as well as posting their stories online to help them find their forever homes. We love dogs and strive to do as much as we can to make their lives and the lives of their owners safer.

To all of you, from all of us at illumidog - Thank you and Happy eCommerce!
