Does anyone know where I can get sun protection for my dog? Websites or anything?

I use kids sunblock, not sun lotion but the complete sun block usually one for sensative skin. Works grand on their wee noses especially during the summer. The thicker sun block isn't as easy to lick off as well.

Yeah I have always used normal human suncream on my animals. Cats ears, horses nose, etc.

As the above poster says, a high factor is good as it is thick and doesn't come off easily!

I have a white kids' zinc stick I use on my dog's nose where he's very pink through his white fur. There's a cream called Filta-Bac which is an antiseptic, anti-bacterial sunproof cream for animals, very useful if you have dogs who get flyblown ears in the summer.
