Yes, dogs can get sunburn. In fact, some dogs can get sunburn on their skin more than other dogs. For instance, the Bichon Frise has white hair and pink skin that is highly susceptible to sunburn. Dogs that don’t have a lot of hair or fur coverage can also be prone to sunburn on the exposed parts of their skin. If you’re thinking about spending a day in the outdoors and it’s super sunny out, please contact your vet and ask about possible sunscreen options for your dog. Take note that your Bichon’s underarms and belly are especially prone to sunburn. In addition to sunscreen, you may also be able to find a lightweight dog shirt for your pup to wear in order to protect his skin. You can also help your dog from getting sunburn by keeping him in a shady area while outdoors. Need more tips? Call your animal hospital Anderson, IN. Visit this website for additional advice.
