Can a dog get dry scalp?

Answer 1

Absolutely! Dogs with light colored hair and dogs with short hair are particularly at risk. The most common place is on the scalp where there is a natural part in the coat, but also on the bridge of the nose, belly/thigh/groin area. You can put sunscreen on your dog (as long as it doesn't contain anything toxic since your dog will lick it off) SPF 15 or higher. If your dog is already burnt you can use 100% aloe vera to sooth the discomfort.

Answer 2

Yes, My dog suffered from a heat stroke. We had to rush her to the vet immediatley for medical care. A heat stroke can be devastating to a dog. Make sure your dog has cool shelter as well as an adequate amount of water on hot summer days. Thanks dog lover

Answer 3

As long as your dog has his full coat of fur on, then no he doesn't need sunscreen on. If your dog lacks pigmentation on his nose then I would recommend putting sunscreen on his nose. If the nose is black then not needed.

Answer 4

no Edited: Actually the answer is yes. Just like humans, dogs can have an allergic reaction to the rays of sunlight. It is more common in white purebreds, but can happen with any breed. They make special sun block for dogs for just that reason as well as Protective clothing.
