Sun smart for dogs

Hi All

Once the freeze of winter finishes here in Melbourne we will be looking at heading out of the city and spending a lot more time in the bush camping, fishing and kayaking and as this will be the first summer for Harry I was wondering is there any specific Staffy things I should look out for in the sun burn area?

Cheers

Besides making sure he gets regular tick and flea treatment, a good kid's sun block that is alcohol and fragrance works great - apply regularly

Thanks for the reply with the sun screen just on the nose and belly?

Any exposed bits need protecting, so yes belly etc but don't forget the ears.

Always make sure you have plenty of fresh drinking water with you and a bowl of some kind. Sounds obvious I know but oh so easy to forget.

Teach her to drink from a bottle it's very helpful.

Yes real easy to forget I always leave my bottle at home, for the dog its not a big problem if we are on the fresh water just if we are in the salty stuff.
