Wow, you are lucky, Kathy. Almost all of the emails I have received thus far tell me they get a sun reaction on their dogs and use, and suggest, SunScreen! Thanks for your experience! Wonder what the difference is? I only noticed it , mainly on Yo who is a sun hog dog, because I didn't have the problem when we (the dogs and I) were inColorado where the sun is "closer."
