If your dog has a light nose
Consistent sun avoidance will help protect the sensitive nasal area. First of all, avoid taking your pet outdoors during peak hours—between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.—and morning and evening walks are a great solution. However, it's not always possible to walk your pet at these times. In this case, consider using pet accessories such as hats, caps, and sunhats.
Your pet has short or light-colored fur.
Warm weather isn't just a welcome sight; it's also quite dangerous: sun exposure increases the risk of skin cancer in animals. This can affect owners of dogs with fine, light-colored fur, as well as those with thicker undercoats and darker coats. Short-haired, light-colored pets and albinos tan more quickly in direct sunlight and are more likely to burn. This is because dark skin pigment helps protect against ultraviolet radiation. Snow-white pets are particularly susceptible to sunburn. Smaller pets receive additional heat from scorching asphalt. Smooth-haired dog breeds (Boxers, Dalmatians, and Bulldogs) are at risk for skin problems. They definitely need additional protection from UV rays.
