Water fountain
When we first adopted Raj, we worried about him being able to find his food and water, so we got a water fountain as his water bowl, so he would be able to follow the noise until he got used to the layout. @Wolf_go_slow |
Muffin's halo
Muffins Halo for blind dogs is a great product for a pet that has recently gone blind. It helps prevent them from bumping into things! Leo doesn't mind wearing it at all and it definitely stops him from injuring his head when he walks around the house. |

Ruffwear front lead harness
Ruffwear provide sturdy products for dogs. This front lead harness has been recommended by several of our interviewees. The front lead option is much better to guide blind dogs than a regular collar.
We have had a great experience with a front lead harness as it helps us direct Arlo where to walk. @arlo.wonderpup This company is rock solid. We've always used their collars/leashes with our other dogs. @noodsterscootster |
