"Ensuring Pet Safety During a Solar Eclipse"

Experts advise that pets don't need special eye protection for the solar eclipse, as they typically don't look directly at the sun. However, it's best to keep pets indoors during the eclipse to prevent potential stress from the change in weather and darkness. If you choose to take your pet outside, keep them on a leash and maintain a calm demeanor. Signs of eye damage in pets include squinting, discharge from the eyes, and changes in eye appearance, and if observed, it's important to contact a veterinarian.
