So what are Doggles, anyway?
Doggles are protective eyewear for dogs. They are actually goggles for dogs, hence
the name. Unlike ordinary sunglasses for dogs, Doggles actually protect dog’s eyes from
foreign objects, wind, and UV light.
What do Doggles look like?
They are modeled after sports goggles. We currently have 2 styles of Doggles, fitting
dogs 3 pounds to 250 pounds. All models have flexible, snug-fitting frames, which have
foam padding against the face; polycarbonate (shatterproof) and anti-fog lenses; and
adjustable elastic head and chin straps to keep the Doggles securely on the dog.
Doggles ILS feature patented wide nose bridge, deep lens cup, interchangeable lenses.
Dogs have a much wider nose bridge than humans, along with protruding eyes. You
need a goggle designed specifically to fit a dog's unique face structure.
