Dogs can't see phones clearly because their eyes are adapted differently from ours. Dogs have fewer cone cells in their retinas, which means they see fewer colors and their vision is less detailed. Additionally, the screens on phones and tablets often refresh at a frequency too high for dogs to detect, making them appear blank or flickering.

  1. Do dogs see colors like humans? Dogs perceive fewer colors than humans, mainly seeing shades of blue and yellow.
