What’s In A Dog’s Eyes?

 

animal hospital Lewisville, TX

Have you ever been fascinated with your dog's eyes or his vision? The eyes of dogs are designed in such a way that they can discern motion a lot better than humans can. It is quite a popular myth that dogs are pretty much colorblind (or being unable to detect color or distinguish the differences in color, poorly or fully). This is not true, but, indeed, dogs often have myopia or nearsightedness. The eyes of dogs are designed in such a way that they are not able to focus on certain shapes of objects, and this is why they find it difficult to detect objects that are situated 20 feet or more away from them. Moreover, the peripheral vision of dogs is fairly narrow and the case varies depending on two main factors: the type of breed involved as well as the size of the dog's head.

If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, make an appointment with our animal hospital Lewisville, TX.
