Hairless breeds, pink-nosed ones, light-colored ones, those with short coats, those with short summer haircuts, these dogs can all get sunburned just like humans. Those that have thick hair coats can still get their noses sunburned.
There is available dog-specific sunscreen that you can find in local pet stores and even online. This product is not oily and has components that are dog-friendly. Never use sunscreen containing zinc on your pet because it could be toxic for your dog if swallowed. Also, avoid any sunscreen that has fragrance compounds.
Put some sunscreen onto your pet’s nose, ears, inside his rear legs, and other spots that might get exposed to direct sunlight. Apply again after your pet goes into the water.
With hairless breeds, think about putting a doggie-shirt on your pet while out in the sunny weather, and be sure that there is always a shaded resting area available.
After putting sunscreen on your pet, he will want to play and romp around. Practice recalling your pet through commands so that his beach time is safe.
