Rex Specs V2 Goggle

Rex Specs V2 Dog Goggles take care of your dog's eyes!

Our dogs' eyes are constantly put to the test - dusty street dust, sharp branches in the forest, or the burning sunlight reflected from the spring snow - eyes are vulnerable to both sudden and gradual damage over time.

Rex Specs glasses protect your dog's eyes, for example:

• from the sun's UV rays - especially needed near water, snow, fells, and mountains
• from dusty sand and dust
• from sharp branches and twigs
• from snow blindness
• from wind and drafts
• during the treatment of eye injuries or diseases (e.g. pannus / chronic corneal inflammation and iris degeneration).

Excellent comfort and adjustability

Adjustable attachment straps and different sized frames ensure an excellent fit for all dogs. The glasses are always delivered with two lenses as standard, a clear one and a tinted Smoke lens. Various spare lenses are available separately.

The wide, curved design of RexSpecs lenses does not restrict or distort the dog's field of vision. The frames focus on ventilation and are padded with foam to increase fit and comfort. The glasses stay well on even during more intense activity!

RexSpecs dog protective glasses with effective UV protection

Rex Specs dog goggles are designed to protect dogs' eyes in all situations, both preventively and as additional protection during recovery from eye injuries. Rex Specs goggles are also well suited for continuous use by dogs whose eye conditions require lifelong UV protection.

All lenses, regardless of color, are UV400 rated and filter 99% of ultraviolet light. They are therefore suitable, for example, for dogs suffering from chronic corneal inflammation (pannus). In addition, the lenses are made of very durable polycarbonate and have passed the impact resistance test ANSI Z87.1 rating (tested in size L).

Renewed model V2 in spring 2022: what is different from before?

RexSpecs launched a renewed version in spring '22, which has completely replaced the previous model. This V2 version has:

• improved fit
• flatter design than before
• an even wider field of view for the dog

In the V2 version, both the frame and lens design are different from the Original version, so the new and old versions with lenses are not cross-compatible.

Rex Specs lens durability

Rex Specs lenses are made of very durable polycarbonate, so they withstand impacts excellently. However, dogs do not know to protect the glasses' lenses, so scratches may appear over time with use. Small scratches do not yet prevent the use of the lenses. Rex Specs glasses also have spare lenses available inexpensively, and they are easy to replace in the frames. See additional lenses / spare lenses here: Rex Specs V2 Lenses.

Rex Specs lens colors

Rex Specs V2 glasses always come standard with two lenses: Clear and Smoke. 

Additionally, a wide selection of extra lenses is available separately. Different lenses let through different amounts of light, so choose the lens shade according to the intended use. All lenses have the same UV protection (99.9% UVA and UVB), including clear ones.

See additional lenses here.

• Clear - lets through 92% of light. Works in dim weather and as protective glasses, for example for hunting dogs. Scratches are least visible on clear lenses. UV protection is the same as in colored lenses.
• Smoke - lets through 20% of light. Excellent for bright weather.
• Mirror lenses - different shades: the darkest shade Silver Mirror lets through only 13% of light. Popular, for example, for boating or when moving in fells/mountains or for dogs that squint strongly.
  

Rex Specs goggle size selection

1.  Measure the muzzle circumference in front of the dog's eyes, approximately at the corners of the mouth, and compare it to the size chart. This measurement is the most important.

2. Measure the head circumference about two centimeters above the dog's eyes. If your dog's head circumference is clearly larger (e.g., over 50 cm for an X-Large dog), a strap extender may be necessary. See the product Rex Specs Strap Extender.

Small-Wide version for short-snouted breeds

The size Small-Wide differs in shape from other sizes. It is not an intermediate size between S and M, but unlike all other sizes, the glasses are straight instead of curved. Small-Wide fits dogs with a short snout and wide skull, such as Boston Terriers and French Bulldogs. The Small-Wide model also requires the dog to have a snout at least about 3 cm long. If your short-snouted dog's skull is wider than 38 cm, choose the strap extender, not the Large size (basic sizes are too curved for short-snouted breeds). Mirror lenses are currently not available for the Small-Wide model.

Getting your dog used to Rex Specs protective glasses

Protective glasses are probably a new thing for your dog, so it's worth spending some time training. Start by getting your dog used to just the frames (removing and attaching the lenses is easy). First, make putting on and wearing just the frames a pleasant experience for your dog, for example with treats. Only once your dog is used to wearing the frames on its head, attach the lenses to the frames. It's best to start with the clear transparent lenses that come with the glasses and switch to tinted lenses only after your dog is accustomed to the glasses.
