Hi Everyone!
My name is Dan, and I am a veterinarian. Have you ever wondered if you dog has night vision. You are at the right place to have the question answered. Dogs do in fact have night vision.
The dog retina has a tapetum lucidum. The tapetum lucidum reflects that light from the moon and stars at night, and allows for the dog eye to collect my light for vision at night.
This is why a dog eye may look greenish at night, because the tapetum lucidum is reflecting the light it makes contact with.
Before dog's became domesticated, it was really important for them to have night vision. This would allow for them to hunt even after the sun went down.
Night vision is something that most nocturnal carnivores need and have.
