Don’t Forget Your Sunscreen

We are not the only ones at risk for sunburn during these hot summer months.  Our beloved pooches are also at risk for sunburn if he or she has white or light-colored fur or is a hairless breed.  Actually, even if your dog is darker in color, those sweet wet noses, bellies, ear tips and pads of their paws can become sunburned too.

Typical signs of sunburn include red skin, blisters, peeling skin and soreness. If any of the skin is broken, raw or showing signs of infection, visit your veterinarian immediately.

For $12.99 you can protect your pups sensitive skin while you take Fido on a jog or out to dog beach with pet sunscreen made especially for your pet.  The sunblock comes in a handy 2 oz spray container and is non-oily, non-irritating, water soluable and contains no silicone.  The spray also keeps dogs with dark coats from fading when used regularly.

I’m off to go catch some rays with my beagle Oliver, but we won’t be forgetting our sunscreen anymore.
