Keeping pets in the shade is one way to protect them from the recent intense sun. But sometimes shade is not an option - like on the beach. So this summer, as you grab the bottle of sunscreen before going outside, keep in mind that the same UV rays you are guarding yourself against are also harmful for your dog. Epi-Pet Sun Protector Sunscreen is a pet safe sunscreen and the only one approved by the FDA for dogs. (Do not use on cats!)

You can use on all dogs, even ones with inflamed or itchy skin from allergies. Dogs that are especially sun-sensitive are those with white coats, shaved summer cuts, naturally thin-haired dogs or those outside a great deal of time - like boaters, swimming pool or beach bum dogs.

Epi-Pet should be applied to protect the most sun sensitive areas of dogs such as tips of ears, nose, belly and groin area as well as shaved/groomed areas that expose skin usually protected by fur or hair. It is a water and sweat repellent spray that easily penetrates hair to the skin providing protection against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. And the 4 oz. bottle is designed with a bag-on valve, so you can conveniently spray it at all angles for easy application on any areas of your dog.

Keep a bottle in the car and beach bag so you have protection for your dog no matter where you're going. This summer keep your pet cool and protected from the heat and sun with pet supplies from Braxtons. And click here for more cool summer tips.
