I just use baby sunblock for Caney. It is a lotion, but in a spray bottle.... I put it on her ears and the bridge of her nose, out of tongue's reach. She squirms when I'm putting it on, but she's never tried to get it off. And I love how it makes her head smell like a beach-baby

We tried the sunscreen on Han. He doesn't mind it. I spray it on his legs and arms mainly where there is no hair. I haven't put any on his face yet. He has a tongue about 12 inches long!!! I swear to god! He constantly licks. So I don't know that I want to put it on his face.

Cool Our vet...

told us to keep it on our two puppies' noses since there isn't a lot of pigmentation there. She recommended rubbing Chapstick on them, so...I used an old one my son had. Word of warning...Cherry Chapstick is yummy to a boxer. They licked themselves silly trying to get to it on their noses. After that, I have just used baby sunscreen.
