Knowing what dogs like to watch could help veterinarians assess their vision

A veterinary ophthalmologist wanted to determine factors, including age and vision, that influence a dog’s interest in interacting with video content. Ultimately, the goal of the study, which launched two years ago, was to support development of more sensitive ways to assess canine vision — something that has been sorely lacking in veterinary medicine. The study found that dogs are most engaged when watching videos that feature other animals.
