Beverly Hills, CA - Because most of a dog's body is covered in fur, some people may wonder if a dog can get a sunburn.
The answer to is yes. Here is what dog owners need to know: The majority of dog owners know they have to provide adequate water and also keep their dog from overheating in the hot summer months. But many owners don’t think about the risk of sunburn to their dogs, probably because their dog is covered with hair and they believe that protects them.
Dogs that have white or very light skin are more susceptible to a sunburn. And a dog’s skin is just like human skin in that it’s just as likely to become damaged and then at greater risk for developing skin cancer. White dogs who have short hair such as French Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Greyhounds, Boxers, Dalmations and Pit Bulls are at greater risk than dogs who have darker hair and thicker skin.
