B&M shoppers praise 'brilliant' light up coat that keeps your dog warm and safe

With the evenings still being cold and dark, people will be looking for ways to keep safe and warm - especially if you are a dog owner.

And one shopper thinks she has found the solution after she picked up a light-up dog coat from the popular bargain retailer, B&M.

It turns out the discounted retailer is selling a "LED Dog Coat" designed for keeping your pet pooch warm, comfortable and dry during these colder evenings.

Even better news is the nifty item costs just £5 on the retailer's website.

The retailer has said the LED Dog Coat "makes your dog more visible during walks in the evenings".

The shopper, Ambie Hambie from Edinburgh, took to social media to share a clip of her dog modelling the adorable coat and it looks ideal for these late night walks.

Posting to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group on Facebook, she captioned the post: "£5.00 B&M bargain for the dark nights. Its fleece lined too!

Update* it takes a watch battery to replace. If you leave the jacket on the battery can drain."

Shoppers were quick to praise the impressive item on Facebook (Facebook/Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK)

Bargain buys are usually popular among shoppers on the Facebook group and it looks like they are barking about the new dog coat.

The post has currently racked up nearly 800 reactions and over 1,200 comments at the time of writing, as dog owners praise the invention as "brill."

One shopper wrote: "would be perfect for our woodland walks at night time x."

A second user wrote: "We bought these for our boxer and frenchie today! Amazing!!!"

While a third commented: "Ohh I got one of these for my puppy a few months ago, its fabulous in the dark!"

A fourth user wrote: "this is brill need to take a jump in x."

Many other shoppers who already nabbed up the nifty bargain shared images and clips off their pet pups in the light-up coats while on their evening walks.

The Scot's shopper who originally shared the find also advised shoppers that they can use a watch battery after many shoppers commented that their lights stopped working pretty quickly.

B&M's LED Dog Coat is available for small, medium, large and X-large dogs in-stores now.
