Rex Specs Dog Goggles

To protects your pet’s eyes from UV, windblown debris, mud, or grass seeds whether they’re sticking their head out of a cycle trailer at speed or racing trails on foot. I have no idea how you persuade your dog to wear them or even just keep them on, but they do look cool.

It has a GPS that fits to a collar, this works as an activity monitor and a live tracker, so you’ll always know where your pet is. Monthly sub (from £3.33) required. Useful particularly, if like me, you have a Beagle in the family who is more adventurous than the rest.
