Giulio has a patch of missing fur from a skin condition as a puppy. Is it necessary to put sunscreen on the patch when he is in the sun?

Yes, it would be a good idea to protect that area from sun exposure. Here are some helpful articles: https://www.petcoach.co/article/sun-exposure-and-pets-what-you-should-know/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/dogs-cats-can-get-sunburn/ Giulio could also wear a shirt or something to cover the area if appropriate. I hope this helps and thank you for using PetCoach.
