i'm sure that the dog could get sunburn, and even tho i haven't seen such a product in any store yet, i'm sure they make such a thing, or will eventually. mr. beefy likes to lay in the grass belly up, and since his belly is almost hairless, i'd not be at all suprised if he got burnt. that being said, i'm trying to imagine putting sunscreen on beefy, and i keep picturing him licking it off imeadiately. he won't even leave me alone when i have sunscreen on. i tend to agree that if the dog has been out in the sun long enough to get a sunburn, they probably are at risk or much worse things, like overheating. good old fashioned shade would probably be better. :?
