Animals Want To Understand and we as pet owners know they do! We also are guilty of sometimes forgetting to explain something new to them and end up causing some preventable issues.
A Classic Example... And What You Need To Avoid:
HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
After surgery or during the initial fitting, the dog's first logical reaction is nonacceptance of something new. A dog that wakes up from anesthetic is in pain, and if the first time they are wearing the OptiVizor on their head is after surgery, they can easily think "This new vizor is to blame for my new pain - so if I tear it off, the pain will stop!"
They will probably have this same thought for a few days, especially when the dog also is blind and does not see what happens.
HERE'S THE ANSWER:
Before the first fitting, give your dog time and let them sniff and rub their face against it. Tell them why it is good!
Blind dogs: Remember that their instincts are quite heightened by something that would be new on their head. Always tell them what you're doing!
Put the OptiVizor into the dog's bed, so that he/she gets used to the idea.
Repeat the above and only then start fitting the OptiVizor to your dog.
Praise them and tell them how smart they look.
And don't forget to give them their favorite treats as a reward for their cooperation!
IMPORTANT! When fitting the OptiVizor on your dog for the first time, make sure it is closed tight enough around the neck so the dog can not slip it off to the front! Remember - if he/she succeeds once, they will try it again and again...
NOTE: Detailed Sizing and Application Instructions are included in each order.
Important Fit and Assistance
We strongly recommend that the OptiVizor only be worn if it fits your dog correctly with sufficient eye clearance to avoid any possible eye injuries.
If needed, take several pictures with the OptiVizor on your dog: a front view and each side view while taking the pictures parallel (not up or down angles) and send them (as attachments) to info@protectivepetsolutions.com or fill out the Sizing Help Form located on the Sizing tab. We’re happy to help with fit and adjustment!
Cleaning
Clean with a wet cloth, mild liquid soap, rinse and dry well with a soft cloth. Do NOT soak it in a solution or the clear Vizor will absorb the color of the solution turning it cloudy.
Surgery / Eye Medication
EYE MEDICATION: Loosen the chin strap only and lift up the Vizor, similar to a Welder’s mask. When done giving medication bring it back down to re-secure the chin straps.
PREPARING FOR ELECTIVE SURGERY: It is optimal to have the OPTIVIZOR™ ahead of time to let your dog see, sniff and apply, to get them used to it. So, after surgery, they will have reduced stress as they have learned to associate wearing it as a positive experience, including getting treats 😊!
Cold Weather
Cold Weather: The OptiVizor material is rated to withstand temperatures down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. It will stiffen in colder weather when not on your dog. Simply use a hair dryer or safely use hot water for a minute to soften and reshape prior to putting on your dog.

Because our greyhound has pannus, we needed UV light protection for her eyes. We tried several "doggie goggles" but she was not pleased with the way they fit around her face, and I know they interfered with her vision. So, Optivisor to the rescue. She tolerates the fit of the visor much better than the goggles, and she doesn't bump into things anymore! Also, the staff was very helpful in getting us the proper sizing. Thank you!

Well, for a thin skinned Grey hound there should have been padding around the ears. I'll have to modify it.

This is a great product
This is a great product and will recommend to all of my friends! It is great for Greyhounds because of their small nexts the standard cone is no comfortable at all!

optivisor for dogs

Not just for eye protection
I bought this because my dog got injured on her cheek and she kept scratching and reopening her wounds. It's much better than a cone because she kept knocking everything in the house over. Plus she looks pretty cool with her vizor!
