SUNGLASSES
THAT HAVE GONE TO THE DOGS
MidnightPass.com
adds Doggles®, a unique
line of eye-protecting goggles
for canines, to its line of innovative pet accessories
DATELINE:
MARSHFIELD, MA Increased awareness of the harmful effects the
Sun’s
rays have on eye health has long prompted people to be both safe
and fashionable behind
designer sunglasses. Now their pets can do the same.
MidnightPass.com,
a Marshfield Hills, MA based direct marketer and online retailer,
has
added Doggles®, a unique line of sunglass like goggles for dogs,
to its growing list of
unique pet products.
Doggles feature
specially designed lenses that are shatterproof, anti-fog and provide
100 percent protection from harmful Ultra Violet radiation.
Due to their revolutionary
and unique design, they fit tightly - yet comfortably, around
your pet’s face by adjustable
elastic head and chinstraps. The snug-fitting, foam padded
frames will remain secure and
help prevent even peripheral sunlight and glare from posing
a risk.
Doggles also
protect a dog’s eyes from wind,
dust and foreign objects, making them a
beneficial accessory for active dogs that love sticking
their head out of car windows,
riding in pick up truck beds or scampering through the
woods. For dogs recovering from
an eye ailment or wound, Doggles can prevent additional
injury and provide peace of
mind for owners.
Doggles, which
come in 4 sizes from X-Small to X-Large in five cool colors for
dogs
five pounds and up, can be ordered directly from www.MidnightPass.com
for up to
$24.95 (plus $5.95 postage and handling), or by calling,
toll-free, 1-877-844-GIFT
(4438).
ENDORSED BY
CANINE HEROES
Although Doggles certainly have novelty appeal as a pet
fashion accessory, more
important benefits have been proven in action by some
very special animals. In the
aftermath of the World Trade Center tragedy, donations
of Doggles were directly
requested by the ASPCA as protective gear for search
and rescue dogs. Doggles will also
be used by the Alaskan Sleddog Kennels team in the
2003 Iditarod as protection against
glare, snow and ice storms (cataracts caused by UV
exposure are a longstanding health
risk faced by racing dogs). Recommended by veterinarians. MADE IN THE SHADES
Although dogs, unlike humans, have natural defenses to combat UV
radiation, Doggles
offer added protection to ensure their safety and continued health.
The threat of certain
eye-related diseases—such as pannus, which often affects German
shepherds, greyhounds, collies and huskies that spend a lot of time
outside—can be greatly reduced
with the use of proper UV protection.
The danger of UV radiation is also not just a summertime problem.
In fact, the intensity
of sunlight, and its glare, is stronger in the winter months. Doggles
offer a year-round
solution for keeping your pet happy and healthy.
