How A Dog Sees: Facts and Myths about Canine Vision


Have you always assumed that because dogs can hear better than humans, they probably don’t need to see very well? Have you even wondered what colors they can see, or if they can see only in black and white? Do dogs really watch the TV? Do some dogs need glasses to correct near-sightedness or far-sightedness? While dogs definitely see the world differently than people do, you might be surprised at some of their visual capabilities, and the differences in visual perception between human and canines. On this show, Dr. Bret Moore, a veterinary ophthalmology specialist, will discuss what pet owners need to understand about the way a dog sees and what to do if you suspect your dog may be having vision issues.
