Do Rex Specs fit “short-nosed” breeds?
Do Rex Specs fit “short-nosed” breeds?
Yes, Rex Specs can fit breeds such as, boxers, Pit bulls, Bull terriers and some Bulldogs. Many of these breeds have eye issues and Rex Specs can offer beneficial eye protection. A correct/comfortable fit really depends on the width of their muzzle (nose). Some bulldogs may have muzzles that are too broad or short for the goggle to rest comfortably on and may not work out. Check out the link below to help you determine what the best size would be for your “short-nosed” pup. Small Wide Goggle
Will Rex Specs fit pugs, french bulldogs or boston terriers?
Will Rex Specs fit pugs, french bulldogs or boston terriers?
It depends, yes and no. Our size Small Wide was specifically designed to fit smaller dogs with a flat wide face. Although, it was designed with this in mind, Pugs, French bulldogs and Bulldogs can be a challenge for Rex Specs to fit. The dog needs enough ‘nose’ for the goggle to rest on and a ‘chin’ for the strap to function properly. Small Wide Goggle

What if my dog is in-between sizes?
If your dog is in between two sizes we recommend going with the larger size to allow for your dog to have better peripheral vision. Please view our Size Guide. Using the fit guide ‘How to measure’ can help you determine what the best size goggle will be for your dog.

Do the lenses scratch?
Do the lenses scratch?
All Rex Specs lenses are made of 100% polycarbonate. They are durable, flexible and provide the necessary UVA/UVB protection. However, they will scratch with tough wear. Some of our lenses show wear and tear less than others. The clear and smoke lenses show the least amount of wear and the mirror coated lenses will show the scratches more easily. Dogs are not bothered by scratches and disturbances on the lens like we would be, they actually have quite poor short range vision and see right past minor scratches and disturbances on the lens. So, go ahead and let them use the lenses to the fullest! Should you need new lenses, you can always have replacement lenses available.
Dogs are going to be hard on these lenses so we recommend to start training your dog to wear the goggle without any lenses. This will help protect the lenses from the dog’s initial natural reaction to paw at the goggles and rub their head into the ground. Once your dog is used to wearing the frame, move to the clear lens and then to the tinted lens. Read more about training your dog to wear Rex Specs HERE.

My dog just had eye surgery and hates using an e-collar (cone) can i use rex specs instead?
My dog just had eye surgery and hates using an e-collar (cone) can i use rex specs instead?
Rex Specs can be a great option to provide eye protection for your dog. However, we do not recommend Rex Specs as an alternative to wearing an e-collar until your dog's eyes are completely healed from surgery. We recommend this because if your dog is new to Rex Specs it’s natural for them to paw at their face as they become accustomed to wearing Rex Specs. We would hate for them to potentially damage the delicate surgery.
If your dog is fully trained and comfortable wearing Rex Specs you can use them for eye protection post surgery. With a fully trained dog they will be comfortable wearing dog goggles and will not want to paw or rub their face to get the goggles off.
Leashes and Collars FAQ
Leashes and Collars FAQ
Is the collar compatible with all leashes?
Our collar is compatible with many brands of leashes, if the leash has a big buckle. The leash buckle needs to have a large opening to work well. Carabiners work great, and most medium/large breed leashes made by a quality brand will also work.
How does the daisy chain work on the leash?
The daisy chain allows for an entirely versatile experience. The design is the same on both ends and customizable to your wants and needs. Wrap the leash around your waist to be hands free, tie to a tree, a post, or a bike rack. The possibilities are endless! Great for 2 dogs as well. The Rex Specs team has used this leash for all sorts of things - not all dog related!
