Hi all just wondered if anyone else had a pooch with a pink nose as opposed to a brown/black one?

Sandy my spaniel has a very light pink nose and yesterday I noticed it was almost a little scabby around the top, it has like a brown mark all around the top edge. The only thing I can think of is that it was a really warm day and although she was inside for most of it she did lay out for an hour from 11 - 12. Do you think its possibly a touch of sunburn? I feel bad that I didnt think about it when she was out yesterday. Can u use normal sunblock on a dog or can you buy something specially for her so that I can make sure it doesn't happen again!

thanks xxxx

That does sound like sunburn.
I put normal sunblock on the muzzles of my white Bull Terriers as they tend to burn. I also put it on my grey horses nose as he has a pink snip that burns and peels.

mine also have pink/ black noses and was just thinking as i read you thread that i had better watch it when they are out in the sun as it may burn.

Toots has a pinky brown nose and has got sunburn in the past because I didnt think and she got sunburn. I just put my own sun block on her which she hates and tries to lick off but I just re apply till some sticks

definatly sound like sunburn,a hard one though ,on his nose he`ll lick anything straight off!
