All Baths Are Suspect—Even Sun Ones






Jakey is very sorry he hasn't been in touch lately.  But....Jakey has his own column in HM's company newsletter.  The Woofington Post "From Inside the Dog House" debuted in August and I've been having a howling good time helping everyone understand their fur-iends a little bit better.


Can dogs get sunburned? And, if so, is there doggie sunscreen?
Answer:  Absolutely! Dogs can sunburn just like humans.  We dogs like to lay in the yard with our tender bits exposed to the sun ‘cause it feels good on our bellies and inner thighs. 

But, never ever never use your human’s sunscreen on yourself.  Human sunscreens contain zinc oxide which can be toxic to the howling set.  There are several brands of doggie sunscreen on the market and we suggest you check them out for one that suits you best.  

And remember….you should reapply sunscreen after you’ve been sunning for a while.  But…..you might want to consider not over indulging a sun bath in the direct afternoon sun.


And Humans....whatever you do don't leave your fur-iends in a hot car unattended.  We only like "hot" dogs served on buns with mustard.  Till next time....remember....Jakey loves everybody!!





This is no one I know, but I do think she's awfully pretty in her designer shades!
