How to deal with having a visually impaired dog
Speak normally to your dog.
Just because your dog's vision is impaired doesn't mean his other senses don't work. Your dog will find your voice soothing and familiar, which can help with the stress of not being able to see as well.
This is a great opportunity to talk to your pet even more. Let him know when you are coming near and before you touch him.
