Im looking to begin touchscreen experimentation with domestic dogs. I am worried about damage to the screen by their claws or the moisture from their nose. Does anyone have any experience with specific brands and models of touchscreens, and were any protection methods effective without hampering input?
Any capacitive touchscreen should work well, since the nose has sufficient electrical conductivity. Those screens are quite robust in general, it should easily withstand either moist or scratches but in addition you could secure it with polyurethane protective film.

If you're serious about using touch screens for dogs I hope you will have done due diligence in learning as much as you can from behavioral psychophysical & discrimination studies of their visual capacities. - e.g, form, hue, brightness, greyscale & dynamic motion. Importantly, is anything known about the ability of dogs to discriminate the different varying scan rates of a chosen monitor and their relation to the flicker fusion thresholds of dogs?
