The way your puppy looks at the world is very different to our view of things. Apart from seeing colours differently, dogs also have a wider field of vision than we do. But although canines can recognize moving objects at a great distance, their vision is less effective for stationary objects.

Evidence suggests that dogs have vision similar to a human who is red-green colour blind. Dogs see blues and yellows best. They are unable to differentiate colours that we see as green, yellow-green, orange or red, and are also unable to differentiate greenish-blue from grey.

Grass that we would see as beautiful and green would just be a whitish expanse to a dog. But dogs can differentiate between subtle shades of grey much better than people, so they can see better in low light conditions.

Dogs actually have worse eyesight than a human - but only during the day. With a visual acuity of 20/75, a dog must be 20 feet away from an object to clearly see what a human with normal vision could clearly see from 75 feet.

Although little work has been done in this area, we know that zdogs can generally identify moving objects from further away than if they were stationary.

A dog's field of view is 240 degrees, although it varies between breeds because of the differences in the shape of the skull. This wider view means that dogs are more aware of activity occurring around them than we are.

We hope you found it interesting to take a closer look at how your puppy sees the world.
