    Dr Scott Miller, vet for vet-approved dog food brand Barking Heads on doggy sunburn

    “Dogs can suffer from sunburn. However, it is more prevalent in dogs with thin coats or light fur. We all know how painful sunburn can be, and it’s no different for our furry friends. They are most likely to get sunburnt on their nose, eyelids, tummy and ears. All areas are vital for your pup’s comfortable day-to-day living. So it’s important to keep them protected.

    • Crusting of the skin
    • Flaking of the skin
    • Itching
    • Redness
    • Blisters

    “Like with humans, there are different levels of sunburn, so depending on the severity of the symptoms above, you may need a trip to the vet or be able to help your pup from the comfort of your home. You should contact your pet regardless so they can tell you what next steps to take.

    “For severe sunburn, you should take your dog to the vet where they can be seen for their wounds and proper treatment will be taken.

    “With mild sunburn, you may be able to get away with treating your pet with cold compresses, protective clothing, and sunscreen when you have to go outside with your dog.

    “But the best way to treat sunburn is to prevent it. The best way to prevent sunburn is to keep your dog out of the sun. If you’re worried about them not getting the time to exercise outdoors, you can always take them early in the morning when the sun is still low or later in the evening when the sun is starting to go down. Just avoid the midday sun as the sun is at its highest point, and your dog will be exposed to the light and UV.

    “Another way to prevent sunburn is to use sunscreen when you need to take your dog out. Make sure the sunscreen you use is dog-safe and covers SPF30 or higher, it’s important to make sure it is dog safe as zinc oxide can be toxic to dogs. Apply this the areas where your dog’s coat is at its thinnest and the high exposure areas like their ears and nose. You need to make sure you’re applying the sun protection in two layers, with at least 15 minutes before you take your dog outside. Make sure to carry it with you when you leave so you can reapply as needed.”
