Can your dog see clearly when walking at night? The night vision of dogs reveals the truth about "this thing". It would be a disaster if you didn't bring it with you.

It gets dark very quickly in winter, and many owners often walk into dark alleys when walking their dogs at night. At this time, many people will worry: "Can the dog see the road? Should I bring a flashlight?"

Most people know that dogs have a keen sense of smell and hearing, but their vision and color discrimination are not as sharp as humans. However, this does not mean that dogs will have difficulty walking in the dark. In fact, the structure of dogs' eyes is quite special. There is a special film called the "tapetum lucidum" behind the retina, which can greatly enhance the ability to perceive light. This advantage allows dogs to see more clearly than humans in places with insufficient light.

However, this special "tapetum lucidum" structure also has its shortcomings. Because dogs are particularly sensitive to light, they can easily feel uncomfortable and dazzled when facing strong light. In addition, when light reflects off a clear blanket, it may be slightly biased, causing the dog to see a scene that is slightly blurry or distorted than it actually is.

Do I need a light when walking my dog ​​at night?

Since dogs have better night vision than humans, do we not need a flashlight when walking our dogs at night? Lighting equipment is indeed not a necessity based solely on the dog's visual ability. But from an overall safety perspective, carrying lighting tools is still very important. In addition to reminding passing vehicles to pay attention to dog walkers, it can also help owners see the road clearly and avoid falling; it can also detect in time when dogs eat food on the roadside.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of owners and furry kids, it is recommended to carry lighting tools with you when walking your dog at night to make every walk more secure!
