Did you know that it’s possible for Golden Retrievers and other types of dogs to get sunburn? Dogs are prone to sunburn and even skin cancers in much the same manner as humans. If you’re planning a trip to the beach or somewhere outdoors then you should ask your vet ahead of time about ways to keep your dog from getting too hot and from getting sunburn. Some dog breeds are more susceptible to sunburn than others. For instance, dogs with thin hair or hairless dogs can burn easily. Such dogs include the Chinese Crested and the hairless Chihuahua. Most all dogs have some part of their skin that is not covered completely by their coats. Your Golden’s underarms and belly can be prone to sunburn.
