Sunscreen?

Were getting our foster boy tomorrow and he is a whitey! Can't wait were so happy. Any recommendations for pet friendly sunscreen? We have a fawn and brindle and worry that our new foster boy might need some protection if it ever gets nice here

I can't help you, but am also curious to know. Our baby is also a whitey, in fact very white.
If anybody has any recommendation I would also appreciate the advice.

Thanks!

I wish I really knew b/c my girls muzzle gets red sometimes. I have seen sunscreen at Petsmart and my local pet shop. It is a spray, but I have never tried it. I wouldn't think human sunscreen would hurt as long as they don't lick it all off...lol...good luck with your new boxer!

I bought some kids sunscreen. It says its gentle and hypoallergic. It is the spray. I hear the lotion is a mess! We got our foster boy today and his muzzle is white but the rest of his head is fawn. And the rest of his body is white.

Jan....he looks similar to Moto except he has a Snaggle tooth

I use a stick sunscreen for kids by Banana Boat. It comes in a Chapstick-like tube and it is waxy so it stays where you put it. It's SPF 36 I think and Pearl has never had any adverse reaction to it.
