You may already know the benefits of applying SPF every day on *your* precious face and body (including your scalp!)-but what about your dog?
Yes, you’re not mistaken. The owner of Personal Touch Veterinary Clinic and Freshpet expert, veterinarian Aziza Glass said that your dog needs sun protection just like you. Like humans, UV rays tend to cause the most damage to areas of bare skin and thin fur. “The abdomen, flanks, armpits, groin and inner legs all increase the risk of injury,” Dr. Glass explained. “Non-pigmented areas of the body that are often exposed to the sun, such as ears, nose, eyelids, and even mouth, are also prone to sunburn.” Therefore, please be careful to apply on these areas! understood? Treat your puppies like your own skin. But you can’t just share your Neutrogena bottle with them. It is very important to find a formula made specifically for dogs. “There are several ingredients that are safe for us, but are toxic to our pets. Avoid sunscreens that contain zinc oxide, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) or even aspirin,” explains Dr. Glass. Instead, stick to products that clearly state if they are ingested and waterproof-because we know your puppies like to groom themselves.
Below, we have collected the best veterinary approved products available for your puppies this summer. JFYI, not every product below contains SPF, it is responsible for filtering out harmful rays. In other words, those that do not provide SPF still provide moisturizing and anti-inflammatory benefits to sun-exposed skin. You can get the best results by superimposing it with something that protects against UV rays~.
This spray is made with a mild, non-greasy and non-sticky formula that makes application a breeze. In addition, the packaging is also very cute.
Use this formula containing aloe vera to keep your puppies skin smooth and moisturized in the sun. For reference only, this product lacks SPF, so it should be used in combination with products containing SPF to get the final combination.
With an SPF of 30, this shmancy spray is highly rated on Amazon. Oh, it can condition your dog’s fur. We like it.
It is the same as #1 sunscreen, but with easy-to-use portable wipes! It is perfect for long hikes, or if you need to take it with you on a plane that you carry with you.
Remember how fun it was to use stick sunscreen when you were a kid? Yes, I believe your dog will feel the same way. Use this SPF lip balm on your dog’s nose for a full range of soothing and protective experience.
Although just wearing a cute, personalized sweatshirt will not completely protect your puppy from the sun, doubling is definitely not a bad idea! However, please make sure that bb Fido is included in the SPF.
