Resorts by Pinnacle offers luxury accommodations in the Romantic Zone not just for you, but for your furry friends as well! Being one of the few pet-friendly resorts in Puerto Vallarta, we understand the importance of having your pet with you on vacation to enhance your holiday experience. However, it is crucial to protect your pet from the sun to ensure a happy and healthy holiday for everyone. Here are some Sun Tips for Pets to help you prepare.
Apply sunscreen to your pet regularly, using a specially formulated dog sunscreen as many human-grade sunscreens can be toxic to animals, especially those containing PABA or zinc oxide. Pay special attention to the pink parts of your pet such as the nose, groin, ears, and belly.
Encourage your pet to take a siesta during the hottest part of the day, between 12 and 2 pm, by heading indoors or finding shade. Contrary to popular belief, a long coat of half an inch can actually help protect your dog’s skin from the sun, so think twice before giving them a haircut.
Consider getting your pet some doggie sunglasses, like Doggles, to protect their eyes from canine melanoma. Additionally, always ensure that your dog has access to fresh water when you are out and about.
Don’t forget to ask your Resorts by Pinnacle concierge for a list of pet-friendly restaurants in Puerto Vallarta where you and your four-legged friend can enjoy a meal together while on vacation.
