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

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. -
Offer shady spots
Whether on the terrace, at the beach or on the go – your dog needs places to retreat without direct UV radiation. -
Use special sunscreen for dogs
Especially for the nose, ears, and belly. Make sure to use dog-safe, fragrance-free products . -
Lightweight UV clothing for sensitive dogs
A particularly good idea for breeds with thin fur or skin problems. -
