Different dogs, including the Basset Hound, may be prone to sunburn. In fact, dogsand cats both are prone to sun burns and even types of skin cancers just like humans are. Some dog breeds are more susceptible to sunburn than others. For instance, dogs with thin hair or hairless dogs can burn easily. Such dogs include the Chinese Crested and the hairless Chihuahua. Most all dogs have some part of their skin that is not covered completely by their coats. A dog’s underarms and belly can be prone to sunburn.

If you and your Basset are going to be outside for a while then you should consider ways to prevent sunburn on yourself and your pup.
