Great question! It's is a very good idea to use sunscreen on Pablo this summer. I would recommend using Vetbasix, which is specially formulated for cats and dogs. You can get it in Australia online or in a pet store.

Yes! See if your local pet store that has one specific for cats. You can use a broad spectrum sunscreen for babies and children but make sure it doesn't contain zinc oxide and PABA. Also make sure it's fragrance free.
