Doggles

Posted on Tuesday 20 February 2007

 

Bronze and Pink K9 Optics doggles have arrived. We received xxsm, xsm, and small…these will go fast, they are very popular on the little dogs. Doggles lowered their prices this year…so they are only $12.99.

 Why Doggles…is it a joke? No doggles are not a joke.

For dogs with the increasingly common eye disease, Pannus, Doggles are proving themselves very useful. It is well known that dogs with Pannus should stay out of direct sun and get protection from UV light. Doggles are a great alternative for those dogs that can’t stay inside during the day.

Doggles also provide protection from wind and debris. Whether your dog rides in a sidecar, on a motorcycle, or in the back of a pickup, he/she needs eye protection.

Most dogs will readily accept Doggles after a short adjustment period. Training your dog to wear the goggles can be accomplished in a small amount of time if you follow these easy steps:

1) Don’t put the goggles on your dog while indoors. Imagine yourself wearing dark tinted glasses inside. You cannot see, and neither can your dog.

2) When you first put the goggles on your dog, don’t let him paw at the glasses or roll to get them off. Reassure him that its okay. Take him immediately to bright sunlight and let him realize that he can see with them on. Walk around, get his mind off the goggles.

3) Try to go through this routine as often as possible. The number of training sessions required depends on your dog.
