Search and rescue dog handlers can now protect their partner's eyes from dust and debris with Doggles! Yes, they have specially crafted dog goggles to match the unique facial structure of your favorite hound, from a teacup poodle to a bull mastiff you can find Doggles to fit. You may be asking yourself why- the answer is simple. Doggles provide the same functions to a pooch that regular sporting goggles provide to a human. First, you get protection from dust, debris and insects. For a search and rescue dog at the site of a disaster, this may mean the difference between staying on site and continuing to look for trapped survivors, and having to be evacuated to have their eyes flushed by a vet. A police working dog can benefit from protection during crowd control and make sure to catch the bad guy.
"Civilian" dogs can benefit from protection in an airstream, for example hanging over the bow of a boat, or a Basset Hound hanging over the side of the pickup truck bed. The goggles also provide UV protection, which can prevent damage to the dog's vision due to exposure to bright sunlight. The goggles are anti fog- very convenient when you don't have thumbs to wipe them down. 
Back to uses- sporting dogs can wear them in the field and protect their eyes from thorns and brambles when flushing game. Basically any place your dog would be exposed to physical eye trauma- or the bright rays of the sun for long periods of time.
And of course there is the less practical, but certainly more fun reason. Doggles make your favorite canine look cute. They're great for a silly Halloween costume- imagine your own little Red Barron complete with leather helmet, white scarf, and of course his aviator goggles! Or how about a swim cap, some medals and a set of doggles to dress as a certain Olympic swimmer that's been all over the news? Although they certainly have a silly and fun side, Doggles do provide protection for the dog, and have been recommended by DVMs for use in situations where the dog's vision might be put at risk. So next time you go goggle shopping- you might want to consider doggles shopping as well!
