Sun's Negative Impact on Animal Skin

While we are well aware of the sun's harmful effects on human skin, have you ever considered how it impacts our beloved pets?

Animals with delicate pink skin and beautiful white fur, like dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses, are especially susceptible to sunburn. Their faces, legs, and ears require sufficient protection from both UVA and UVB rays.

UVA stands for short-wave ultraviolet rays, while UVB refers to long-wave ultraviolet rays. Excessive exposure to either can cause discomfort, redness, and even blistering. In severe cases, it can even lead to the development of squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.

Keeping your furry companions safe from sunburn

Preventing sunburn in a healthy pet with sensitive pink skin is simple with a reliable and convenient sunscreen. Don't wait until you see signs of damage; start applying sunscreen in intense sunlight. 

Just like us, pets can suffer from painful sunburns, which can lead to discomfort and potential health issues. Sunburn not only causes immediate pain and irritation but can also increase the risk of skin cancer in the long term. Additionally, excessive sun exposure can contribute to skin dryness, flakiness, and premature ageing in our furry companions.

Although certain human sunscreens can provide some level of protection, not all effectively block UVB rays and require frequent reapplication, especially after water exposure. Animals generally dislike the stickiness and strong odour of human products, often rubbing them off quickly.

 

Lillidale has developed an easy-to-apply powder that offers mess-free, long-lasting UVA and UVB defence specifically designed for animals.

Lillidale's Sunblock Powder for Animals sits on the skin without being absorbed, rubbed off, or easily washed away.

 

Besides Using  Lillidale's Sunblock Powder for Animals

To protect our pets from the harmful effects of the sun, it's essential to take proactive measures. This includes providing shade, especially during peak sunlight hours, and limiting outdoor activities when the sun's rays are strongest.

Additionally, pet-safe sunscreen can be applied to vulnerable areas to provide an extra layer of protection. Ensuring access to fresh water and keeping pets well-hydrated is also crucial in preventing dehydration, especially on hot, sunny days.

By being mindful of the sun's impact on our pets and taking necessary precautions, we can help keep them safe, comfortable, and happy all year round.
