Rex Specs V2 dog protective glasses – effective UV protection for your dog's eyes

Rex Specs V2 dog protective glasses protect your dog's eyes from the sun's UV rays, dust, wind, snow, and branches. These high-quality dog protective glasses are perfect for active dogs, hunting and hobby dogs, as well as dogs with eye conditions requiring continuous UV protection.

Rex Specs protective glasses are designed to stay securely on the head even during intense activity without restricting the dog's field of vision.

Why are dog goggles necessary?

Dogs' eyes are exposed daily to strain and damage. Rex Specs dog goggles effectively protect:

• sun UV radiation (especially needed on water, snow, fells, mountains)
• from dust, sand, and street dust
• from sharp branches and twigs
• from wind and drafts
• snow blindness
• during treatment of eye injuries and eye diseases (e.g. pannus, chronic corneal inflammation, degeneration of the iris, eye ulcer)

Fitting the glasses & getting the dog used to protective goggles

Acclimate the dog gradually:

1. Start fitting with frames without lenses
   By doing this, you save the lenses from scratching and make fitting & getting the dog used to the goggles easier. Removing and reattaching the lenses is easy.
2. Reward the dog
   Give the dog treats for independently exploring the goggles, approaching them, and threading its muzzle through the straps. Do not push the goggles onto the dog's head but rather teach the dog to push its head into the goggles.
3. Add lenses only when wearing the frames does not bother the dog.
   Start with clear lenses and only then move to darker ones.

Rex Specs lens durability

The lenses are made of very durable polycarbonate, so they withstand impacts excellently. However, dogs do not know to protect the lenses of the goggles, so inevitably they will get scratches over time with use. Small scratches do not yet prevent the use of the lenses. Compared to humans, dogs rely much more on their sense of smell than vision. Replacement lenses for Rex Specs goggles are also available inexpensively, and they are easy to replace in the frames.

Rex Specs dog goggles size selection

1.  Measure the muzzle circumference in front of the dog's eyes, around the corners of the mouth, and compare 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 product Rex Specs Strap Extender.

Small-Wide version for short-muzzled 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 muzzle and wide skull, such as Boston Terriers and French Bulldogs. The Small-Wide model also requires the dog to have a muzzle at least about 3 cm long. If your short-muzzled dog's skull is wider than 38 cm, choose the strap extender, not the Large size (basic sizes are too curved for short-muzzled breeds). Mirror lenses are currently not available for the Small-Wide model.
