Abstract
A blind animal halo guide that is in the form of a harness, having a neck cushion that fits around the top circumference of the animal's neck to guide and protect the visually impaired animal from bumping into objects, causing injury or harm to the animal. The neck cushion holds a protective halo in place around the dogs head protecting its head, eyes, nose, and shoulders. The halo provides protection for the blind or visually impaired animal, from bumping into objects, while enabling the animal to feel its way around to participate in activities. This device specifically provides protection and guidance for the visually impaired animal, while also providing maximum comfort and does not inhibit the animal's movements, so the animal can lick itself, eat, drink, nap, sleep and participate in other normal daily living activities.
