Dogs and Sunglasses

Dogs may need sunglasses from time to time because of the bright light of the sun and surrounding environment. Your vet may even recommend sunglasses for your dog or protective goggles in order to protect your dog’s eyes from the sun. Some dogs need sunglasses or goggles when riding in cars. When they stick their head out of the car window, the goggles can protect their eyes from debris flying at them at high speed. Dogs that spend the majority of their time outdoors may need sunglasses because their eyes have trouble adjusting to the sunlight when going outdoors. Dogs that go on long walks or hikes around snow in the winter or water in the warmer months may also need sunglasses to reduce the glare of the sun that bounces off the snow or water surface.
