QUMY Dog Goggles
Protect Your Pooch's Eyes
No need to worry about these dog goggles flying off your dog's face––with adjustable straps and foldable bridge these specs will stay on for the entire walk.
These aren’t just dog sunglasses––they’re dog goggles.
These dog sunglasses have shatterproof polycarbonate lenses that resist fog, filter and reduce UV, and physically block the wind and debris. They are available in six colors (black, blue, red, white, pink, and yellow). They fold at the bridge of the nose and have adjustable elasticized straps to ensure a snugger fit.
Since these goggles are made for dogs 15 pounds and up, they may be too big for your Teacup Chihuahua.
A potential drawback is that the coating on the lenses could be scratched easily, however, we found that the drawstring bag that keeps them from getting scratched and the chin and head straps are well constructed.

Enjoying Dog Goggles
Small Dogs, Cute Sunglasses
With many dog sunglasses options being a better fit for larger breeds, this pair ensures that small dogs can also have some fun in the sun with these tiny windproof and UV-blocking goggles.
Little dogs seem to enjoy these tiny goggles. Perfect for small breeds like Pomeranians and Shih Tzus, your little pup will have a blast sporting them with while going for a drive and sticking their head out the window. Your dog will enjoy the view and look cool as heck.
The dog sunglasses are available in multiple colors and styles. The lenses of the black and pink pairs are windproof and UV-blocking, and the bridge is flexible, which allows for better eye protection. Plus, they come with adjustable head and chin straps, so they won't fall off your dogs head.
A potential drawback is that the lenses have a rather odd kidney bean-like shape and may fog up quickly, obstructing your dog's view.

Style Vault G006 Dog Vintage Retro Sunglasses
Rover's Gone Retro
With these totally tubular retro sunglasses, your dog will enjoy 100 percent UV protection all while being the coolest pup on the block.
These are the first traditional-looking dog sunglasses on our list. Unlike the selections from QUMY and Enjoyings, which are goggles and sunglasses in one, these retro-inspired sunglasses do provide 100 percent UV protection, however they’re not intended to block the wind or debris.
We love these sunnies because they are cute and absolutely perfect for dress up. These sunglasses come with a chin strap and a handy carrying pouch.
A potential drawback is that these sunglasses may not fit dogs with wider faces (think Shar-Peis, Chow Chows, bulldogs, and so on). However, most other medium-sized dogs will look absolutely groovy in these specs.
Key Features
- Made for medium-size dogs
- UV-blocking lenses
- Available in an array of frame and lens color combinations

You might want to order a pair of dog sunglasses for an upcoming photo -- or just to spruce up your pooch’s look. But there’s also the possibility that sunglasses could benefit your dog’s eye health and beyond. Depending on your needs, here are a few things to keep in mind as you consider the best dog sunglasses for your four-legged friend.
Sunglasses Or Goggles?
Most dog sunglasses are actually dog goggles. They fit close to the head (not a suction fit like human swimming goggles, though some have that look) and block wind and debris, making them a good choice for dogs who really need all the sunlight blocked or who will be cruising on a motorcycle or with their heads out car windows.
If you prefer a more classic sunglasses look, opt for something along the lines of Style Vault’s G006 Dog Vintage Retro Sunglasses, which look like regular human sunglasses but have attached head and chin straps. Just be aware that these dog sunglasses don’t completely block sunlight, wind, or debris.
Size And Fit
Chin and head straps are essential to keeping your dog’s sunglasses on their head, but there are a few other elements that can contribute to a good fit. First and foremost, you need to order sunglasses that are suited to your dog’s size and breed. Some manufacturers clearly state which breeds and sizes their product is and isn’t suited for. In other cases, a product is available in multiple sizes.
If you’re open to trying dog goggles, you may want to opt for a pair with a flexible or foldable bridge. This will allow the sunglasses to fit closer to your dog’s face.
UV Protection
If you’re buying sunglasses just for a photo shoot or gag, there’s no need to worry about whether your dog sunglasses of choice have UV protection. But if your dog has health problems, and especially any eye-related issues, buying a pair of dog sunglasses with UV protection could be in their interest. Surprisingly, it’s the physical protection dog sunglasses and goggles provide that’s more important than the UV protection in most cases, but the best dog sunglasses, including all the products we’ve featured, typically have UV protection, even if your pup doesn’t need it.
