The dangers of too much sun exposure are well known. The harmful effects of UV rays have long been associated with skin cancer and a number of other ailments, leading to the widespread belief that the best way to stay healthy is to avoid too much direct exposure to the sun, particularly when the sun is at its fiercest around midday.

The next best thing, but, is to make sure high-factor sun cream is applied to any bare patch of skin and UV protective sunglasses are worn.

Of course, small persuasion should be needed as to the prudence of taking care in the sun. It may surprise some to learn that animals too can be just as susceptible to the sun’s rays, and family pets that spend a lot of time outdoors can be at a far greater risk of developing skin cancer than those confined to an indoor environment.

For example, dogs with small white coats and light coloured skin such as Dalmatians, Bull Terriers, Whippets and Greyhounds are most at risk from developing sun-induced disorders later in life.

Among the preventative measures that can be taken include preventing a pet’s sun exposure altogether, using solar-protective t-shirts and, perhaps surprisingly, applying sun cream.

The type of sun-block that is recommended for children may also be suitable for animals, given that they are often waterproof, scentless and will be less likely to cause irritation to the skin. But there is now even sunscreen specifically designed for pets, offering an simple spray application process and a non-greasy layer of protection.

They require more maintenance which will properly amounts to more physical contact unless you delegate this to someone else. Normal oil production is readily apparent on the surface of their skin and can easily rub off on furniture, bedding, floors and other surfaces that they frequent. Proper maintenance should include regularly scheduled baths to keep these oils from becoming a problem.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in dogs, and the second most common type of cancer in cats. But if it’s detected early enough then treatment is a genuine option, though it’s likely to incur considerable fees from the vet – which is why it’s vital to have adequate pet insurance in place.

Because they are so affectionate and delight in cuddling, you are likely to receive more licks, and kisses. When the saliva dries, it can easily flake off and become airborne causing problems for those who suffer with allergies and allergic asthma
