Dog Goggles
From LoveToKnow Dogs
Did you know dog goggles, or Doggles, can protect your dog’s eyes from ultraviolet rays? Dogs need protection as much as we do when it comes to the sun’s harmful UV rays, as well as from dirt and debris.
What are Dog Goggles?
Basically, Doggles are brand-name, protective eyewear for dogs. (Dog + Goggles = Doggles.) Similar to sunglasses for people, all Doggles have polycarbonate (shatterproof), anti-fog lenses, which block 100% of UV light. They also protect dogs’ eyes from foreign objects and nasty wind.
When is a Good Time to Use Doggles?
Honestly, any time is a good time to use Doggles. But to be more specific, any time that potential debris could come in contact with your dog’s precious eyes, is a good time to use dog goggles. For example, does your dog enjoy riding with his head outside the car window, like many other pets? Well, when you stop to think about it, your dog is a risk for getting many objects, like pebbles, road fragments, and even tossed cigarettes, into his eyes. However, when your dog wears Doggles, the risk is 100% minimized because the Doggles protect the eyes completely.
Doggles should also be worn when your dog is:
- Playing in the bushes in order to avoid thorns;
- In need of extra protection from outside bright light;
- Running on the beach needs to keep sand out of his eyes.
Will They Fall Off?
When in the market for Doggles, many people are concerned that their dog will refuse to wear their pair. Well, fear not, Consumers! The beauty of these glases is that the frames wrap entirety around the dog’s head to completely enclose the eyes without any gaps for light or dirt to seep in. There are also two adjustable elastic straps that keep the dog goggles on securely no matter what the activity, or lack there of, the dog is participating in.
Sized with Your Dog in Mind
Well, that all depends on how small your dog is. Pet goggles are modeled after sports goggles. They are made to fit dogs seven pounds and up. Each pair of dog goggles has flexible, snug-fitting frames with foam padding, which should fit comfortably against the dog’s face.
Prescription Dog Goggles
Although Doggles look adorable on any dog, the manufactures of the product’s main concern is health. So, the creators have made prescription glasses available for dogs who have vision problems.
If your dog is losing his eyesight or has had cataract surgery, consider prescription dog goggles. You will need to visit your Veterinarian Ophthalmologist for a prescription.
