Should I Use Sunscreen On My Cat?



Cats are naturally wild animals. Some cat breeds have been domesticated throughout the years. But this does not mean that they do not want or need to go to the outside world to hunt, explore, and enjoy themselves. Cats are like other animals that are curious enough to sniff into anything they think is interesting. Cats are like other animals that enjoy walking into the bushes, going after their prey. For this reason, most felines are exposed to sunlight which can harm them.


Yes, that is right. The ultraviolet rays coming from the sun may also impact cats’ skin. How? Cats, either hairless or not, may get their skin burnt, sore, and damaged. Skin cancer may also occur in these animals.


So, how should you address this matter? What protective strategies can you employ to help protect your cat’s skin? Should you keep her indoors all her life? Experts say you may use sunscreen. But use only sunscreen products designed for pets. Ask your vet Chesapeake, VA for a product that can be safely used for cats.
