Can dogs see in the dark?

Hey, crew! As the skies turn a shade darker earlier, have you ever wondered if your furry friend can see when the lights go out? Well, let's paws for a moment and delve into this tail-wagging topic!

How do they do it?

Dogs have a unique set of eyes that give them an advantage in dim light. Here are the three main reasons how:

1. Pupil Size: Ever noticed how your doggo’s eyes seem to expand in low light? That's because their pupils dilate more than ours, allowing more light to enter. It's like opening the curtains wider on a gloomy day!

2. Tapetum Lucidum:This is the secret weapon in a dog's night vision arsenal. It's a layer of cells behind their retina that reflects light back through the eye. Imagine it as a built-in mirror, amplifying available light. So, when you see those glowing doggy eyes in the dark, it's the tapetum lucidum at work!

3. Fewer Cones, More Rods: While we humans rely on cone cells in our eyes for color vision, our four-legged friends have more rod cells, which are super sensitive to low light. It's like they have built-in night goggles! Less color, more vision!

But, How Well Can They See?

While dogs have an edge over us in dim conditions, they don't see total darkness like it's daytime. Think of their vision as a twilight zone – they can navigate and detect movement better than we can, but they might still trip over that toy you forgot to pick up!
