They've sold eight dozen pairs. Ten percent of Shady Greys proceeds are donated to Going Home Greyhounds, the local group that finds new homes for retired racers. Most dogs don't mind wearing these sunglasses at all, Robinson claims. The secret is an adjustable strap that fastens in back of the dog's head. They come in four sizes to assure a comfortable fit.
Size is based on a dog's weight with a few notable exceptions.
Greyhounds, with their very thin heads, wear small if they are less than 60 pounds, or medium if they are more than 60 pounds. Shady Greys come in frame colors of blue, pink, green or yellow. There's at least one breed that cannot wear Shady Greys, Robinson said. Flat-faced pugs do not have enough nose to hold up a pair of sunglasses.
