Dogs can get sunburned like humans. Dogs can also feel the effects of sunburns. Hairless dogs, like the American Hairless Terrier and Dalmatians, are mostly affected because they don’t have enough protection against the sun.
It will help to put on some sunscreen for your dog. Choose the one that is specially formulated for canines. Stay away from sunscreen products that contain zinc oxide or para-aminobenzoic (PABA) acid because these are toxic for dogs. When the dog licks his body, he might ingest any toxic chemicals that are applied to his body.
The other option would be to choose waterproof or unscented dog sunscreen. It also helps if the SPF is 30 or higher for better protection against the sun’s rays. Dog sunscreen is available in pet stores.
Ask your vet Ellicott City, MD for a product that you can safely use on your pet.
