    Woof!

    I rember reading somewhere that dogs don't tear as easily as humans so if you like to let your dog poke its head out the car window this would help prevent their corneas from drying and causing damage.

    Been There For Years!

    We've stocked Doggles for the past 5 years, and they sell really well.

    People are amazed when we tell them that are selection is so comprehensive that we even have something for the dog.

    One of our store is accross from an outdoor store (hunting) and they send people over all the time for their hunting dogs. These doges are expensive, and when the scratch their eyes in the brush, they can be out of commission for a time.

    We even sold a pair to the local sherrif and the dog (Midge) went on to be freatured on David Letterman, Jay Leno, and even made a listing in teh Guinnes Record Book as the world's smallest police dog.

    Doggles rock, and you won't find an easier PR item.

    We sell them for 18-24, and often sell multiples.

    It's funny....

    Whether its dogs or humans, it seems that everyone is concerned about UV block...


    ...only when they're getting eyewear!

    I'm thinkin' that 20/20 vision = no problems with UV...yes?

    20/60 vision....definite concerns with UV

    20/30 or 20/40...you may or may not need to be concerned with UV block (depending on whether you're wearing eyewear).

    Who to contact for doggles

    Johns,

    I laughed when I read about doggles but I don't want to be the last one laughing as silly as it may sound people love their dogs. Where/Who do you contact about carrying them in our office. I am thinking about stocking maybe three see how it goes.

    Call Roni at (530) 344-1644.

    I'd suggest investing a hundred or so dollars and carry a pretty good ***'t.
    Most folks have more than one dog, and they want to get different styles for different outings.
