Stop worrying: Pets aren't interested in staring into the sun

In today's NASA briefing about Monday's solar eclipse, co-chair of the National Solar Eclipse Task Force Angela Speck remarked, "Its no different than any other day. On a normal day your pets dont try to look at the sun and therefore dont damage their eyes, so on this day theyre not going to do it either."https://youtu.be/SI9AovFNVUQ?t=52m36s

Veterinarian Dr. Tom Reaping of Youngstown, Ohio says, "Pets have a built-in ability to not look at the sun anyways so they are not going to be looking at that area."

If you're still worried, simply keep your pets inside --with the shades drawn-- during the eclipse.
