Sunburn in Dogs

veterinary clinic Virginia Beach, VA

Sunburn is common in people especially when they stay in the direct sunlight for long periods of time. Sunscreen is usually applied to prevent sunburn, but sunburn can still happen. In this case, aloe or other sunburn treating lotions are usually applied to repair the burned skin. Did you know the same thing can happen to your dog? If your dog is in the direct sunlight too long then he could get sunburn. Your vet may suggest a dog friendly sunburn to use on dogs with short coats or no coats (i.e. hairless Chihuahua, Chinese Crest canine). Dogs with considerable hair or fur coverage can also get sunburn on areas where hair is then (i.e. under the arms/legs, on the belly, and on the tips of the ears). If your dog does get a sunburn, ask your veterinary clinic Virginia Beach, VA about a dog safe aloe lotion that can soothe the skin and repair the damage.A
