How often should I apply sunscreen to my dog?

Applying Sunscreen to Your Dog: Frequency and Tips

Dogs can get sunburned just like humans, especially those with short or light-colored fur, thin coats, or exposed skin areas like the nose and belly. It's important to use a pet-safe sunscreen specifically formulated for dogs. When applying sunscreen, you should do so before going outside, and reapply every 2-3 hours, especially if your dog is swimming or sweating. If your dog is going to be outside for an extended period, check their skin regularly for signs of sunburn, such as redness or irritation. Always consult with your veterinarian for recommendations on the best products to use and any specific needs your dog may have.

Additionally, consider limiting your dog's sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM) and providing shade when outdoors. This will help protect their skin while enjoying the great outdoors!
