The Best of Doggles
Having tried three different types of Doggles for my Siberian husky, these are by far the best. The solid frame over the muzzle adds durability to a somewhat fragile nose piece, and having a single piece of plastic rather than separate lenses seems to have a greater covered area to protect the eyes.
The head straps and solid frame make sure these glasses stay on, even when my dog shakes her fur out or is running beside my bike. We always get lots of people's attention when out in public, everyone just has to point out the dog who's wearing shades! Because she is a Doggle pro, I can't really comment on how long it took her to get adjusted to these. She was already accustomed to wearing other styles of glasses.
Even though my dog is at the larger end of the medium size (according to the chart) and should technically be able to wear a large, her slender muzzle required the smaller size. A larger size would cause the glasses to slip down and not cover her eyes, as we had...
Great look, great fit... but might not for an active puppy
I bought these and they looked great, fit great (the nose contour and adjustable plastic nose pieces made it seem as though they were customized for my bulldog's face! nice!) and seemed to be just the ticket... until they broke :( While I was keeping an eye on her, Bella took a few good rolls on the ground but they stayed on just fine. Then about the 5th time she wore them I let her out of my sight and she came back with a big crack down the lens & it soon after broken in half (unwearable).
So, it could be that these aren't best for puppies or that I need to keep a closer eye on her but I'm going to be ordering another pair and try one more time since I really liked them so much...and so did she while they lasted :)
not for greyhounds
After 2 eye infections in 3 months, I was looking for some sort of glasses for the younger of my 2 greyhounds that could be worn in the sun and allow her to stick her head out the car window when going on errands with me. I had tried a pair of human sunglasses that had been "adapted" for dogs with predictable results! I was familiar with the doggles brand and liked the look of the k9 optix. However, as I have discovered in purchasing other generic products, they don't always fit the greyhound anatomy. In this instance, the narrow greyhound nose and head. Even with the included extra head strap, it wouldn't stay in place. I ended up purchasing the original doggles and so far so good. She doesn't look as chic as she did in the K9 optix but they seem to stay in place better.
