Proper Sizing and Fit of an OptiVizor is Critical.

OptiVizors come in 3 styles to fit all breeds. Common examples include:
1. Regular Snout – (i.e. Labrador, German Shepherd, Dachshund, Yorkie)
2. Short Snout – (i.e. Pugs, Shih Tzu, Boston Terriers)
3. Long Snout – (i.e. Greyhounds, Whippets, Dobermans)
KEY CONSIDERATIONS TO ORDERING THE CORRECT SIZE
- EXTRA FURY HEAD AND FACE: A dog might have a large amount of fur around their face and eyes (i.e. Bichon Frise). In these instances, they may fit better in our Short Snout style vs. Regular Snout even though the Bichon is a regular snout dog.
- OVERWEIGHT / EXCESS SKIN: A dog either overweight or with large amounts of excess skin (neck rolls of a Basset Hound) may need one size up from what the sizing chart says. It might be best to order more than one size to achieve the best fit the 1st time.
- VERY TINY DOGS: A very tiny dog (i.e. < 6lb. Chihuahua) which is a regular snout dog breed; most likely would need a smaller OptiVizor™ than we carry in a Regular Snout. Therefore, we often fit that tiny of a dog with one of our Short Snout OptiVizors that come in 3 smaller sizes than the Regular Snout version.
- SHORT SNOUT DOGS: Such as Pugs French Bulldogs, Shih Tzu and Boston Terriers, most often (~65% of the time) fit best in a Regular Snout style vs. Short Snout due to their head/neck proportions. In these instances we recommend ordering both styles to help ensure you get the correct fit the first time. The OptiVizor™ needs fit your dog correctly or not at all.
HOW TO CORRECTLY ORDER
- ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL: We often recommend customers order more than one OptiVizor to get the correct fit the first time. This is especially true when your dog is close to or is in between sizes. This will save you money on shipping and prevent any lag time in getting the right one for your pet. You can return the new, unused OptiVizor(s) for a product refund within 14 days.
  - Specifically, customers with Short Snout breeds order multiple OptiVizors, most often 2 different sizes in both Regular and Short Snout styles because they are more challenging to fit.
- PLAN FOR SUCCESS!: Preparing for scheduled eye surgery. Ideally, we recommend ordering the OptiVizor ahead of time to allow your dog time to get used it. When they do awake from surgery, they don’t think the OptiVizor is the cause of their eye discomfort as they have learned when they wear it they get praise and treats!
- MEASURE TWICE - ORDER ONCE!

OPTIVIZOR: IMPORTANT APPLICATION TIPS

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.
