Dogs' visual acuity is lower so they cannot focus as well. An object a human can see clearly may appear to be blurred to a dog looking at it from the same distance. A rough estimate is that dogs have about 20/75 vision, which isn't that good, but oh well. Also, they can only see in black and white.

Actually, research shows that dogs CAN see some colors, just not at the same intensity as humans and not the same spectrum. It's a little more complicated, but basically, they can see shades of blue and yellow. Red and orange are seen as shades of gray. Green as I understand it is gray but blue-green can be seen. And I think they can see some shades of magenta. But I still stick with the basic yellow and blue. And I will say my dog's favorite toys have always been yellow.

Kitty Cat04's Answer:

Dogs can see violet, indigo, blue, and yellow. They are very good at telling the difference between violet, indigo, and blue. A blue-green color is the color white to dogs.

How do dog eyes work?

Contrary to what many people think, dogs can see some colors. In a dog's eye, 10 percent of the photoreceptors are cones, which allows him to see muted colors. He can't tell the difference between purple and grey or white and light blue, but certain colors are discernible. Dogs have more rods than humans, which allows them to detect movement much better than humans.
