Today is the day of the solar eclipse π We have had some calls asking questions so we thought we would share some FAQs with everyone in case others were wondering.
πQ: Is it ok for my pet to be outside during the eclipse?
A: It is totally fine for your dog to be outside with you during the eclipse. They do not normally tend to look at the sun, rather focus on their owners so you do not need to worry about them looking up at the sun. Cats tend to prefer staying inside, so it is probably best to leave them indoors where they are most comfortable. If you are going outside with your pet, avoid big crowds and leaving them alone in the car and make sure they are on a leash.
πQ: Should I have my dog wear eclipse glasses if we are outdoors?
A: As stated, dogs will not tend to look up at the sun so it is not necessary to have them wear glasses. If they want to be included and do wear some, please send us photos π· Be mindful, if you do put glasses on your dog that they do not knock them off and chew them up.
πQ: Will pets act differently?
A: Most will not, but some may act a little different. You might see your pet act a little confused or sleepy. Your cat will probably not notice at all and will not act differently.
Basically, just be mindful and enjoy the day with your furry friend.
