Glasses for your doggy
The next time you go out in the sun with your pet dog you can wear your sunglasses and make your doggy wear one too. Doggles has come out with a range of glasses for dogs - sunglasses, prescription glasses if your dog is having problem with his sight, protective glasses to protect his eyes from foreign elements, and dark glasses if your doggy is blind - and all at affordable prices. The glasses are believed to be long lasting and do not cause much discomfort because of a line of foam on the inside frame. Your doggy can even play wearing them because there are two very comfortable straps to hold them firmly on to his face, one going around his head and the other below the chin. Also the glasses are shatter-proof.
Prescription Glasses
Like most of us, our pet dog's eyesight could also get bad as years go by. It is indeed painful for the dog and also for the owner because the dog could get very disoriented, collide into things and have other behavioral problems. A veterinary ophthalmologist could help out by prescribing the right glasses for the dog. You can send the prescription to Doggles and get glasses made for around $100. Doggles say that their brand of glasses have helped many dogs - even dogs with cataract problem and also those dogs who have undergone cataract surgery without lens implants.
Sunglasses
When out in the afternoon, dogs too tend to get irritated by the harsh sunlight. Fashionable sunglasses are the answer to this problem. Doggles has come out with a very attractive range of these glasses and in a multitude of colors. You can select one to go with the shape of his face! So cute!
CAUTION: Do not get your dog to wear sunglasses indoors, the extra darkness could irritate him.
Protective glasses
Even if your doggy does not have a problem with his eyes, outdoor stints, especially a drive, could sometimes irritate his eyes especially if the atmosphere is very polluted and there is a lot of dust and foreign elements in the air. Protective glasses can help him protect his eyes.
Black glasses
Doggles' black glasses are for dogs who have gone blind. These glasses have opaque black lenses and are like the glasses worn by blind humans. Such glasses worn by blind dogs could also serve as an indication to passers-by that the dog is blind and could run into them. Black glasses with solid black lenses can also be worn by dogs who have undergone surgery of the eye(s). The lens provides the eyes the much-needed protection from light, dust and other foreign bodies.
Buying glasses
For more information on these glasses you can visit www.doggles.com. There is a also a sizing chart to help you choose the right size of glasses for your pet. You can buy such glasses online or from pet shops for around $15-$25. But remember to consult the veterinary ophthalmologist first.
Teething problems
The downside to buying these glasses is that both you and especially your pet are bound to have problems adjusting to these glasses. Do not have him wear them for long stretches initially. Get him to slowly adjust to them. Handle him very lovably and encourage him, maybe you can take the help of a pet trainer.
CAUTION: When not in use, do not place the glasses near your doggy. He may bite and chew them.
