[QUOTE="donna723, post: 404640, member: 1883"] They are more for protecting the eyes from injuries than they are for protection from the sun. The "cute factor" is just a fringe benefit. For some breeds of dogs (like my Bostons) that are prone to eye injuries, they can be very helpful, especially if they are outdoors a lot. Bostons (also pugs, pekinese, etc.) have very prominent eyes and injuries are common. An eye injury that can cause a simple easily healed infection in another breed of dog can lead to the loss of the eye if it happens to a Boston. Sadly, you see a lot of little one-eyed Bostons out there - I have one myself, my little boy Trace. I know a lot of Boston owners whose dogs spend a lot of time playing outside and people take them with them when they go swimming, to the beach, boating, hiking and camping. The "sun glasses" protect their eyes and prevent injuries. I don't have them for mine but I would get them if they spent more time outdoors. There are several companies that make them but the Doggles brand fit the best and are sturdier than some of the others.
