Products For Blind Dogs And How You Can Help Them

By Tammie Caldwell


Some dogs are born unable to see, while others lose their vision later in life. Even if your canine loses its vision later in life it can still live a happy and productive life. Stores carry many products for blind dogs that can aid them. A pup will generally do better in life if the owner does not over compensate by giving too much sympathy. Treat your pet as normally as possible so he or she will feel normal.

Often the very best way to help your pet is to treat it as you would a dog who could see. Do not be too concerned about him walking into things. A canine has a very could recall memory. The home is likely memorized enough that he can navigate it quite well. The backyard as well. People might not even realize that the dog has lost its vision, because it can navigate so well.

Dogs get out of the house and get lost every day. This is dangerous for any animal, but especially for a vision impaired one. A medical tag will alert a good Samaritan who may see the canine to his particular vision issues. This will help the good Samaritan help your pet, which will hopefully get him back to you as soon as possible.

A hoop harness is another product that is helpful for any dog who cannot see. The hoop harness consists of a harness with a loop on the front. The loop is held several inches in front of a dogs face. This way instead of your pup walking into walls and other things, the hoop hits the object first. This alerts the animal to walls, and furniture, and prevents possible injury.

A canines sense of smell is much better than a humans. They often seek out and find things by scent. Therefore markers can be used to lead your pet to items that it must reach. For example, their water dish, food dish, or even their bed. These types of objects can be placed indoors or outdoors. They are also reusable and can be refreshed over and over again.

Short leashes are sold to help owners guide their blind canines. You can kind of steer your furry friend with this leash. These leashes are not designed for walking, only for guiding. When necessary put this on her to give her a bit of extra guidance. These are perfect for when you are away from home.

One reason that your animal may not be able to navigate your home is if you have remodeled or rearranged things. It is best not to do this if your dog cannot see. Doing so can disorient a dog. This will cause stress and anxiety.

Keep in mind that your pooch can and will have a very good life with your help. Buy helpful products, give him love and attention, and most importantly treat him as you always did. Go for walks, play games, and spend lazy mornings lounging on the couch together.
