I would like to know if everyone who has doggles for their dog uses them on a regular basis or just for fun - photos etc.

We have two pair for Mojo (LilyGrace has one pair, as of now). Mojo started out with the actual Goggle type because at the time, we did a lot of travelling in our Jeep (top off) and on the 4 wheelers. So, these were needed to keep the wind, dirt, sand, bugs, etc out of his eyes...and they worked soooo well!!! I love them. We do not do much of that, if any, anymore, but we still have the goggles, just in case.

Now, we have the ones that look like sunglasses...you know, the little cute pink or tan ones. I wouldn't recommend those for a motorcycle ride

but they are extremely cute! To be honest, neither one of mine wear their "fashion" doggles much, except for the ocassional outing where I think she should be on top of the latest fashions

or for pictures.

But, if you are needed something for a sport (motorcyle, Jeep, anything where the wind, dirt, etc are an issue), I really recommend the Doggles that are more of the goggle type. Mojo has the one w/ skulls on them

I purchased a pair of Doggles for Abigail, she rides my BF's Ninja 900.
She used to get eye infections, all the time. My Vet. suggested them, she will wear them all the time, but if you put them on her she "Expects" to ride, and is very dissapointed if you don't take her. People laugh at her all the time, she is on the Local News every Year for "Bike Week" down here.
She loves them or maybe she just knows she can't ride without them?

I put their doggles on them each time we take them out for bike rides. I should probably put them on during their walks to since the dirt blows in their faces since they are only inches from the road. Now that you have me thinking about this, I think I will.

You know, this is a great reminder!!! Just last month (or so), we were walking on our gravel road....it was looking like rain and the wind picked up, so we spent the walk home, in a heavy wind. Mojo got some sand or dirt in his eye and we had to get eye drops from the vet. (only $3 and a nice thing to have on hand), but if I had THOUGHT to put their doggles on them for their walks, Mojo wouldn't have had to deal w/ that! GREAT THINKING!!!
