Rex Specs V2 Goggle

Rex Specs V2 dog goggles – effective UV protection for your dog’s eyes

Rex Specs V2 dog goggles protect your dog’s eyes from the sun’s UV rays, dust, wind, snow, and branches. These high-quality dog goggles are perfect for active dogs, hunting and sport dogs, and dogs with eye diseases requiring continuous UV protection.

Why are dog goggles necessary?

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

Rex Specs dog goggles lens options

• Clear (included with the goggles) – 92% light transmission, for dim light and hunting.
• Smoke(included with the goggles) – 20% light transmission, for bright weather
• Mirror lenses (sold separately) – 20-13% light transmission: color options for those who want style. Strongly darkening options for very bright conditions, boating, fells and mountains, and for dogs with highly light-sensitive eyes.

All lenses, including the transparent Clear color, have the same effective UV protection.

Fitting the goggles & 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 pushing its snout through the straps. Don’t push the goggles onto the dog’s head; instead, teach the dog to push its head into the goggles.
3. Add lenses only when the frames no longer bother the dog.
   Start with clear lenses and only then move to darker ones.

Durability of Rex Specs lenses

The lenses are made of highly durable polycarbonate, so they withstand impacts excellently. However, dogs don’t know to protect the lenses, so they inevitably get scratches over time with use. Small scratches don’t yet prevent the lenses from being used. You can also buy replacement lenses for Rex Specs glasses at a low cost, and they are easy to swap into the frames.

Rex Specs dog goggles size selection

1.  Measure the snout 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 productRex Specs Strap Extender.

Size	Snout circumference	Head circumference	Examples of breeds
X-Small	10-15 cm	23-26 cm	Miniature Poodle, Pomeranian, Miniature Pinscher, Papillon, Dachshund, Chihuahua (dogs over 3 kg)
Small	15-20 cm	26-30 cm	medium Poodle, Jack Russell, Italian Greyhound, Whippet, Miniature Schnauzer
Small-Wide (straight model)	15-22 cm	30-38 cm	model for short-snouted breeds (wide skull, short wide snout), e.g. Pug, Boston Terrier, French Bulldog, Shih Tzu, Cavalier. See more details below.
Medium	20-22 cm	30-35 cm	large Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, Spanish Water Dog, Lapponian Herder, Heeler, Whippet, small Aussie, Brittany Spaniel
Large	22-29 cm	35-44 cm	Golden Retriever, German Shorthaired Pointer, Belgian Shepherd, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Australian Shepherd, Doberman, German Shepherd
X-Large	over 29 cm	over 44 cm	large German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Malamute, Great Dane, large Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bernese Mountain Dog

Small-Wide version for short-snouted breeds

The Small-Wide size differs in shape from other sizes. It is not a size between S and M, but unlike all other sizes, these goggles 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 (standard sizes are too curved for short-snouted breeds). Mirror lenses are currently not available for the Small-Wide model.
