Sunscreens

Just like people, some dogs and cats are more prone to sunburns than others. Breeds with short or thin fur, light-colored fur and pink skin, or no fur at all, need extra protection. Even long-haired dogs with light-colored noses, eyelids, or ears, can be susceptible. If your dog experiences seasonal hair loss due to shedding or has a health condition that causes hair loss, sun protection is important for their exposed skin too. Sun damage can lead to sunburn, blisters, and even skin cancer in dogs, so taking precautions will ensure your furry friend enjoys the outdoors safely!
