Would you Like to See what your Dog Sees

Well now you can! I got a chance to try a cool new iphone app called Pet Vision. As usual, I have to give my disclaimer that I did not get paid to review this product though I did get the app itself to try out for free.

This app works on your Iphone or ipod-touch. Just do a search in your app store and it will pop up. It's very reasonably priced at .99 cents.

Now the first question is why would you even want to know how your pet sees things? Well, for one, just out of curiosity. Most people know that dogs are color blind but they actually do see some colors. Just not all the same colors that we see. Cats even see less colors than we do.

But there are other reasons. The manufacturer says:

"Our app is called "Pet Vision" and it takes the camera feature of the
iPhone (or photo library on an iPod touch) and processes the pictures
you take into the color spectrum of your  favorite canine or feline.
It's a lot of fun to see the world through the eyes of your pet!  And
moreover, we feel the application goes beyond entertainment by
allowing people better understanding of their pet's vision.  Imagine
taking a photo of your pet's favorite and least favorite toys… you
might learn something about their preference."

I couldn't wait to try this app out. My teen son was fascinated with it too. He kept going around the house and yard looking for things to photograph and then switched the settings to dog and cat to see what it would look like. Very entertaining. I also need to mention that the app was simple to use which is great for a tech idiot like me.

So I guess you might be curious what it actually looks like through your pets' eyes.

The following is a photo of my baby granddaughter (isn't she adorable?) The first one is the way we would see this photo:

The next picture is how your dog would see it:

The last is the way your cat would see it:

Interesting, huh?
