Sommer, Sonne, Sonnenbrand – wie du die Haut deines Vierbeiners schützt

Summer, sun, sunburn – how to protect your four-legged friend’s skin

Soaking up the sun? Yes, please! Sunburn? No thanks – not even for dogs! Many dog ​​owners don't realize that our four-legged friends can also suffer from UV radiation. Especially in summer, your dog's skin needs protection from the sun – just like your own.

Here you can learn how to prevent sunburn in your dog and what to do in an emergency.

🐶 Can dogs really get sunburned?

Absolutely! Particularly at risk are:

  • Dogs with light or short fur
  • Hairless dogs or freshly shaved breeds
  • Body parts such as nose, ears, stomach & inner thighs

Sunburn can cause redness, itching, pain, or even serious skin damage .

😎 5 tips to protect your dog from sunburn

  1. Avoid midday sun
    Between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., it's better to chill in the shade than to romp around in the blazing sun.
  2. Offer shady spots
    Whether on the terrace, at the beach or on the go – your dog needs places to retreat without direct UV radiation.
  3. Use special sunscreen for dogs
    Especially for the nose, ears, and belly. Make sure to use dog-safe, fragrance-free products .
  4. Lightweight UV clothing for sensitive dogs
    A particularly good idea for breeds with thin fur or skin problems.
  5. Protect paws
    Avoid hot floors – asphalt can quickly become dangerous!
