Suncream??

Im in New Zealand at the moment and have a neighbour with 2 absolutely gorgeous boxer boys! Her young red boy, Cookie, is 6 months old and has quite a bot of white in his coat particularly on his face (one half is completely white).

She applies suncream to him but he is always licking it off and he gets sunburned on there walks! Im from Ireland and as such i cant offer any advice on the matter! Does anyone have any experience or advice on this??

If it's on his face there is probably not much to be done.

If it's on his body and he's licking off the sunscreen (this is not healthy), then I'd recommend a t-shirt or shorter but more frequent walks or walking in the evenings or early mornings when the sun is not as strong.

Thanks a million il pass it onto her. The white is only really on his face so evening walks will have to be done to protect his little face.
