I started a Thread "Sunglasses for Dogs" and asked other Yorkie Talk memebers if sunglasses were for fun or if they served a purpose.

"The sun can be damaging to dogs' eyes over time. It has been proven that limiting the exposure to sunlight slows the formation of canine cataracts, too.
It is encouraged that pet owners take their dogs for their walks either early in the morning or early in the evening, or both...but not during the part of the day where the sunlight is the strongest. Some canine cataracts are caused by other things, and lifestyle is a factor, but shielding your dogs eyes actually is recommended if they are out in the sun for long periods of time, especially the sunlight that occurs from late morning to early afternoon. =]"
This was enough for me to read to order the doggles since I live in a place with sun all day, every day. My DH thinks it is not necessary, but when it comes to my baby, I will do all I can to keep her safe and healthy, even if it means putting adorable doggles on her
