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.
Doggles Eye Protection for Dogs are the first and only true eye protection designed and manufactured soley for dogs. If you have seen any other products claiming to be eye protection for dogs, they are only human eyewear adapted with a chin strap.
Our products are designed just for dogs with a deeper lens cup (because dogs have protuding eyes), wide nose bridge (because dogs have a really bignose), foam padding around the entire frame, and soft adjustable head and chin straps. Doggles ILS come in 5 sizes, to fit dogs 2 lbs - 200 lbs. The lenses are interchangeable, so you can change color for time of the day or situation. Our products and designs are protected by three patents. We created these unique products to help dogs who need eye protection from the sun's harmful rays, flying debris, wind, rocks, or bugs. The deep lens cup keeps the lens away from the eye, preventing potentially dangerous rubbing or hitting of the eye. The lens are shatterproof to protect from flying bugs, rocks, or other objects while riding in cars (head out the window), motorcycles, or properly secured in pickup trucks.
Our Doggles are worn by working dogs all over the world: K9 Units, Border Patrol dogs, Search and Rescue, are just some of them.
Doggles are recommended by Vet Ophthalmologists to protect their patients in all types of situations and also after some types of eye surgery.
Dogs need UV protection just as humans do, and if your dog is out and about with you, and you have your sunglasses on, your dog should be wearing Doggles to protect its eyes from harmful UV rays as well. Your dog can't tell you his eyes hurt.
Be proactive and help your dog help its own eyes. And don't forget that Doggles are in the height of fashion! Check out our pink and lilac colors!
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.
