No animal can see in the dark. Some, however,have adapted to use low levels of light. Dogs are thought to see five times better than humans in dim light (but not as good as cats).

In addition to a reflective layer in the eye called the tapetum, dogs have several adaptations to improve their night vision:

  • A larger pupil lets in more light.
  • The center of the retina has more of the light-sensitive cells (rods).
  • The retina has more light-sensitive compounds torespond to lower light levels.
  • The lens is located closer to the retina, making the image on the retina brighter.

Should you leave lights on for dogs when you are not at home?

It is generally not necessary to leave lights on for dogs when you are not at home. Dogs have good night vision and can navigate in the dark. However, leaving a light on may provide some comfort for dogs who are afraid of the dark or help them see better if they have vision problems. Ultimately, it depends on your dog's individual needs and preferences.


Can labrador retrievers see in the dark?

Like humans, dogs cannot see in truly dark conditions, but dogs' eyesight is better at night with minimal light from the moon, stars, or human lighting.
