Heterochromia in Animals

Heterochromia is a color difference in the color of the iris of the eye. Heterochromia is characteristic not only of people but also of our smaller brothers. Usually, one eye is always blue. The most striking example of heterochromia in animals is the husky dog.

  • In animals, heterochromia is more common than in humans.
  • It usually results in blue coloration in one eye.
  • Blue eyes can be found in cats, especially in breeds such as the Turkish Van and Turkish Angora.
  • These cats are called discordant cats. These cats are white or predominantly white in color, with one normal eye (copper, orange, yellow, green) and one blue eye.
  • Among dogs, heterochromia is common in the Siberian Husky breed.
  • Complete heterochromia is most common in piebald horses.
  • It is also found among cows and Asian buffaloes.
  • Sector heterochromia is common in Australian Shepherd and Border Collie dogs.
