Tips, Tricks, & Instructions
Research has shown that long hours in the sun without adequate eye protection can increase the chances of developing eye disease. UV-absorbent sunglasses and sungoggles can help protect your eyes and the eyes of your pet from sun damage.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has set standards for UVA and UVB protection in sungoggles. ANSI requires at least 50 percent of UV rays to be blocked to qualify.
Check the label! The ideal sun goggles do not have to be expensive, but they should block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation. Our labels read "UV absorption up to 400 nm," which is for dogs with an increasingly common eye disease, Pannus, Doggles® are proving themselves very useful. It is well known that dogs with Pannus should stay out of direct sun and get protection from UV light. Doggles® are a great alternative for those dogs that can't stay inside during the day.
Doggles® also provide protection from wind and debris. Whether your dog rides in a sidecar, a motorcycle, or in the back of a pickup, he or she needs eye protection.
Most dogs will readily accept Doggles® after a short adjustment period. Training your dog to wear the goggles can be accomplished in a small amount of time if you follow these easy steps:
1) Don't put the goggles on your dog while indoors. Imagine yourself wearing dark tinted glasses inside. You cannot see, and neither can your dog.
2) When you first put the goggles on them, don't let your dog paw at the glasses or roll to get them off. Reassure your dog that its okay. Then, immediately take them to bright sunlight and let them realize that they can see with them on. Walking around will get their mind off the goggles.
3) Try to go through this routine as often as possible. The number of training sessions required depends on your dog.
Doggles® come in many styles and sizes to fit any breed of dog from 3 pounds up to 250 pounds. Many different colors of frames and lenses are available.
Doggles® ensures a perfect fit by using two adjustable head straps - one behind the head and one under the chin. The chin strap simply wraps under your dog's chin. They are very simple to use.
We care about your dog's comfort. The straps are made of comfortable, plush elastic. The inside of the frames are lined with foam padding. The frames are completely flexible and will bend to wrap around your dog's face, regardless of the shape of the face.
