Yes, dogs can get sunburned—and it's more common than most pet parents realize. Areas with thin or light-colored fur, like noses, ears, bellies, and even the tips of paws, are especially vulnerable to UV damage. Sunburn in dogs isn’t just uncomfortable—it can lead to peeling, blistering, and increase the risk of certain skin cancers. As temperatures rise, it's crucial to take proactive steps like applying pet-safe sunscreen, providing shade, and avoiding peak sun hours to protect your dog’s health.
