狗狗係色盲兼大近視 點解可以做導盲犬?

Dogs are colorblind and severely nearsighted. How can they become guide dogs?

Did you know that dogs are red-green colorblind and also very nearsighted? They can only distinguish between yellow and blue, and red objects appear gray or brown to them.

Would your owner’s favorite toy be blue and yellow?

Dogs are very nearsighted.

A person with perfect vision (20/20) can clearly see letters or objects 20 meters away.But dogs generally have a vision of about 20/75, meaning that if a person can see something 75 meters away, a dog can only see it at about 20 meters.

Why are guide dogs usually Labradors?

Besides their gentle temperament and stable personality and emotions, it turns out that Labradors have near-perfect vision, almost perfect.

Of course, besides having excellent eyesight, they are also very sensitive to smells, sounds, movements, textures, light and dark, and locations.So guide dogs can distinguish between red and green lights, safely leading their owners to their destination.

It's hard to detect eye diseases in aging dogs.

Because their other senses are very strong, even if they lose part of their vision, they can still live using their other senses.So, it is only when the dog's hearing starts to fail that the owner realizes the eye problem has already become very serious.

The nutrition is not good enough, causing the eyes to age prematurely.

During the manufacturing and baking process of dog food, a lot of nutrients are lost, so manufacturers will add chemical nutrients afterwards. However, do these meet nutritional standards?

A report from the UK indicates that most dry and wet dog and cat foods do not meet EU mineral nutrition standards, with 20% to 30% of them exhibiting mineral imbalances.In December last year, there was even a case in the United States where vitamin D levels exceeded the standard by 70 times, prompting the FDA to urgently recall the dog food.

Moreover, dog food, raw food, and cooked food all contain a lot of carbohydrates, which are bad for dogs' digestive systems, weaken their immune systems, and can lead to many chronic diseases, such as cataracts.
