This site is an informational/resource site for the owners of blind pets, specifically blind dogs. When we sought information, support, products and like minded pet owners to help deal with our blind dog's needs we found little in this area. Our goal here is to help other pet owners who may have the same need for information and options when it comes to their loved companion.

Blind dogs most likely will never fully see again.  But like their human counterparts they can have a quality of life that precludes running into objects, falling down stairs and feeling helpless with their new or existing condition. Blind dogs, like blind people, will compensate for their disability with their other senses.  These sensory enhancements may not be enough however.

After tiring of seeing our beautiful little Yorkie (who was completely blind in both eyes and deaf) walk into walls, stand helplessly in the middle of a room and become frustrated and depressed, we knew we had to do something.

We made a Blind Dog Collar that really works.  It is a simple collar attachment that provides two extruding tubes with a vibrating inner piece that works much the same way a blind person uses a cane.  They work a lot like curb feelers on a car, giving the dog a protrusion out past his snout that he can feel his way around.

When the dog encounters a wall, piece of furniture or other obstruction he is aware of it before he crashes into it. After awhile the animal will adapt to this device quite well.  We have included the plans online here as a PDF for online viewing, printing or download.

Please explore the site and return often. We are constantly networking to bring information and resources for our fellow animal lovers. Also please feel free to share your stories about your pet with other site visitors. Your story, your poem, your encouragement may just be the one that inspires someone or saves a life. If you make one of these collars we would love to have your input on its use and any enhancements you may have made that may help others.
