Sunglasses for Dogs - Save Their Eyes From Harmful UV Rays

My dog Sasha used to love to run and play around the shorelines of ponds, lakes, rivers and beaches.

But sometimes she would lose her way and whimper because of how bright the sunlight was in her eyes or how it reflected off the white sandy beach.  

In later years she developed cataracts and sensitivity to light, and I wish now that I had invested in sunglasses for dogs.  Our pets eyes are just as sensitive to UV rays as ours are.  While a cat may avoid the direct sunlight on their face, our dogs would gladly follow us anywhere!

So when we were wearing those cool sunglasses while strolling along the boardwalk on a bright sunny day in the park for a walk with our best friend, they were left to squint.

I was in the park the other day on a very bright winter's day.  So bright the sun was literally bouncing its rays off the bright white snow and into your face. 

This one dog owner was walking her dog, and I saw her with big sunglasses on and her dog looking off on an angle to avoid the bright sun. 

This couldn't have been very comfortable!

I then saw another smaller dog wearing the cutest sunglasses and frolicking in the snow.  

Dogs get used to wearing sunglasses quite quickly. I now wish I had thought of using them with my dog Sasha.

Dogs will do anything to please their owners, and we sometimes forget that if our eyes hurt with the bright sunlight, then maybe theirs do too!

For under 10 bucks, you can get cool looking dog sunglasses that look awesome and help their eyes stay younger longer.

The ones pictured first are for dogs over 15 pounds. but you can get them for all sizes of pooches!

These ones are for smaller dogs.  They have comfy elastic to keep them on their heads.  Just find the ones that will fit your pooch best.


So if you go out often in the sunshine with your dog, then protect his eyes just like you protect yours. Your doggy will go anywhere with you, even a bright sandy beach with intense light reflection, so consider investing in a pair of dog sunglasses. They will help to give your dog a good long life of seeing clearly.
