Check out our expert tips to keep your four-legged companion skin healthy while enjoying the blooming environment out in the sun this summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the hot season, both <span style=\"color: #dd3333;\"><a style=\"color: #dd3333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canadapetcare.com\/blog\/one-thing-all-dogs-should-have-healthy-skin-and-coat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>dog skin care<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and cat skin care are crucial to protect them and keep them healthy. It is every pet owner\u2019s duty to provide the best what they can do to safeguard their pets\u2019 health during the days of blazing hot.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Sunscreen to Block damage from sun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best way to ward off sun damage is to <span style=\"color: #dd3333;\"><a style=\"color: #dd3333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canadapetcare.com\/blog\/how-to-prevent-sunburn-in-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>protect your pet\u2019s skin from sun<\/strong><\/a><\/span> all the time. The most sensitive parts of a dog need the most. Particularly, when you are taking them out on a beach, a vacation or he just spends a lot of time out enjoying the sun. Pet sunscreen helps to protect pets\u2019 skin from harsh sun rays. Branded <span style=\"color: #dd3333;\"><a style=\"color: #dd3333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canadapetcare.com\/dermoscent-sunfree-for-dogs-and-cats-pack-1114.aspx?utm_source=int-blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=summer-skin-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>pet sunscreens<\/strong><\/a><\/span> are highly effective for dog skin care in summer. Parts like nose, rim of the ears, area around the lips and hairless bellies should be covered properly with a layer of sunscreen.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>It protects from sunburn and bruises that happens to light-skinned and thin-haired pets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Practically reduces exposure to harmful UV and UVB sun rays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. Grooming<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the hot season, due to sweat and dirt, long hair of dogs and cats get matted and tangle more. Proper brushing with a wide pet comb help in dematting and detangles your furry friend hair. Moreover, if you are thinking to shave your dog or cat, avoid doing this especially in summer and winter. Their coat protects them from extreme heat and cold conditions. Therefore, in place of shaving their hair, brush your Fido or Lucy regularly.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Increases blood circulation in the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Daily brushing add shine to their hair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>3. Natural Shampoos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keeping your pet\u2019s skin clean is a part of daily health regime. Giving your dogs and cats, a proper bath with natural shampoo works well. Remember do not bathe your pets too often because that can result into dry skin and deplete healthy oils from the coat and skin leading to scratching and itching. \u00a0Moreover, use of natural shampoo does not wash away all the essential oils that act as a layer of protection during the hot weather. Use natural shampoos that are paraben-free and do not contain any lauryl\/laureth sulfates.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Removes dirt, bugs and debris from the skin and keeps skin healthy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Shampooing avoids excessive scratching and itching caused due to dirty hair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>4. Pet Goggles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Specially designed goggles for dogs called as doggles are available, which protect canine eyes during summer. It safeguards your pooch\u2019s eyes from a bundle of problems arise of being in the sun. These goggles can fit to all breed dog head shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Protect dog\u2019s eyes from direct UV rays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It keeps at bay all harmful damages caused due to exposure to the sun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>5. Fresh Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Water is an essential component that keeps the skin healthy and supple. Your pet skin dehydrates due to loss of water and can become dry. Dry skin causes itching and irritation in cats and dogs. Provide fresh and cool water to your Fido and Lucy every day. This keeps them cool and hydrated.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 600px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQtdm9wsqf2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQtdm9wsqf2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A post shared by CanadaPetCare (@canadapetcareusa)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Keeps dogs and cats skin hydrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It helps to avoid the problems of dry skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With these few simple tips, prevent sun damage caused to your pet.
