Doggles Medium K9 Optix Sunglasses for Dogs, Silver Frame, Smoke Lens

Great eye protection
When a dog needs eye protection, Doggles are the product to use. My Siberian husky developed eye problems and we were strongly encouraged by our vet to use sunglasses for her. After finding that the regular Doggles were simply intolerable for my dog, we tried the K9 optix variety, and have had much more success with them.
The head straps work very well, keeping the glasses in place while walking and running about. My Siberian took to wearing her Doggles very quickly, and while she does not exactly enjoy them, at least she tolerates them well. We always get lots of attention when we go out and she is wearing her cool shades. People can't resist a dog with glasses!
I ordered the size large silver framed style, only to find that the nose piece was much too wide, despite my dog being the correct weight on the Doggles sizing chart. Owners of breeds with slender muzzles such as shelties or greyhounds may want to be careful when buying the weight recommended size, as the nose...
Doggles K9 Sunglasses
Provides eye safety for your pet while giving them that "boy am I cool" look. Doesn't take too long for the pet to become accustomed to them, and now my Golden Retriever is thrilled whenever I get the Doggles out, because she knows a ride in the car is next.

Only down-side is that after many months of use, the plastic pieces that hold the straps on become brittle and break. Manufacture does not sell replacement parts, so you have to purchase a whole new set of Doggles. Not terribly expensive, but still, replacement parts should be possible...
Not quite the same product fit as the goggles
I got these doggles for two reasons - a friend has a violent cat ("Go for the eyes, Boo!"), and the Barkspawn likes the car window open. My 6 month old puppy had to grow into these for the fit to work, but even so, the 'aviator' style glasses have nose pads, just like on people glasses, and in a loose situation, will pop right into the dog's eye if the glasses shift around on their head. As you can see in the picture, they are very cute.

You pretty much have to use the optional band to stabilize them on certain faces, and my pup has one of them. As eye protection against the wind, great - the Barkspawn will be able to take trips with the window down while I worry less about thrown debris. Against the cats, I think I would have done better to go with the actual goggles while everyone was getting used to each other, rather than the glasses.

They actually got on relatively fine to start off with, so perhaps it's a moot point, but he's still a puppy and prone to...
