The "Cream + Cover" Method: How to Make Dog Sunscreen Actually Work
We aren't against dog sunscreen. In fact, high-quality, non-toxic dog sunscreen is a great tool in your DLE arsenal. But every owner knows the struggle: you apply the expensive cream, and 10 seconds later, your dog licks it all off.
This isn't just a waste of money—it means the medicine never gets a chance to work.
The Absorption Problem
Most topical treatments (sunscreens, steroids, or soothing balms) need at least 10-15 minutes of contact time to absorb into the skin layers where healing happens. If your dog licks it off in under a minute, the raw skin remains unprotected.
The Solution: SnoutCover as a "Shield"
SnoutCover works perfectly alongside your favorite topicals. Here is the "Cream + Cover" routine used by many of our customers:
Apply: Dab your prescribed ointment or sunscreen onto the affected area.
Cover: Immediately put on the SnoutCover.
Distract: Go for your walk!
The SnoutCover physically prevents your dog from rubbing the medication off on the grass or carpet. By the time the walk is over, the medicine has absorbed, and your dog's nose has been protected from UV rays the entire time.
A Chemical-Free Option
On days when the nose is too raw for creams, or you just want a quick potty break without the mess, SnoutCover works as a standalone physical barrier. It offers 100% shade, instantly.
