This week I took my dog Polly out for a stroll in the park, and we saw something very odd indeed: A dog wearing sunglasses! I couldn’t believe it!
So, I decided that I would go talk to the stylish dog’s owner and find out what it was all about. And it actually turned out that his dog had cataracts and needed glasses to correct his vision, which was the purpose of the sunglasses he was wearing. I didn’t even know that some dogs even needed to wear glasses let alone that there were actually corrective lenses being mass produced by a company called Doggles just for that purpose.
To sum it up, this “sunglasses for dogs” thing had me really interested in finding out more, so Polly and I said our farewells to our brand new friends and headed home so I could learn more about these space-age doggy glasses. I came upon a website on the internet that had a lot of information about these prescription goggles, lenses, and sunglasses for dogs, and what I found out really surprised me. It turns out that there are apparently many legitimate uses for this doggy style product, and they are far from being just a funny novelty item.
In addition to vision correction, sunglasses for dogs can provide an extra level of protection not only from harmful UV rays from the sun but also dust and debris in the air that could potentially damage their eyes. This is especially helpful for dogs who like to ride in the automobiles with their humans and enjoying to hanging their heads out the window with the wind running through their fur. I also discovered that some of these glasses with solid black lenses for dogs are made specifically for dogs that are blind in order to protect their eyes from injury in case they bump into something by accident. They are also useful in alerting strangers to the fact that the dog can’t see, so they are aware of the fact before approaching them. And of course, there is always the most obvious purpose of a pair of sunglasses for your dog; To make your dog look awesome and stylish.
So in conclusion, I was very surprised by just how useful they are, and I knew that I just had to purchase my very own pair of cool sunglasses for dogs for my own furry little four-legged friend so she can enjoy being fashionable and make all of her doggy friends jealous. And it was a very good decision indeed – she really loves wearing them because of all of the new found attention she gets from curious strangers, and of course what I love about them is that they help protect her from any unfortunate eye injuries. So, in the end, all I have to say is this – If you love your dog, you should consider buying your dog a pair of sunglasses of their very own.
