Applying Sunscreen To Your Pet Cat

If you do not know it yet, cats may suffer from several skin problems like sunburn, skin soreness, damaged skin, and skin cancer. Yes, that is right. Your beloved feline friend may acquire these unwelcome conditions because they too are at risk when exposed to exceeding amounts of ultraviolet rays from the sun. So how can you resolve this matter when you allow your furry friend to go outside just to let her be a “cat.”

You may use sunscreen. Do not worry, there are sunscreen products specifically designed for pets like cats. Talk with your vet about the specifications you need to look for when buying sunscreen for your feline. Then strictly follow the proper use of applying the product.

In particular, you have to apply the sunscreen on the following areas or parts vulnerable to sunlight:

· Nose

· Tips on the ears

· Belly

· Groin areas

· Other body parts with thin to no fur

When trying out a new sunscreen, apply first a small amount and observe your cat for any reactions. Contact your veterinarians Chesapeake, VA immediately for prompt medical attention.
