RiverStar-Aura Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just wanted to ask where to buy this from. I've never seen it in Pet Barn or is from vets only? I need to start putting it on Zeus's muzzle as he has pink skin there and very little fur covering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chequeredblackdog Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Petbarn stocks it, well the one I work in does. Filtabac and the 'Vetbasix'(sp?)one. Though I haven't seen either on the shelf for a little while. I've asked for some to be ordered. Maybe supplier issues? You could ask the staff at your local one, they might be able to order some in for you. Otherwise I'd assume most vets would carry something of the sort.

moosepup Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I like the consistency of Filtabac (dries into a film of sorts) but I find it really dries out Moose's skin and makes it flaky. It could be because the skin in that spot I think is already quite thin (burn scar) but I have heard similar reports from others about the dryness. Lately I've just been using toddler sunscreen.

Austerra Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Any pet store should be able to order in for you, either brand already mentioned are readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for the info. I'm heading into Pet Barn later this arvo and will ask about it. Moosepup, is toddler sunscreen safe to use on dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We use baby sunscreen too, never had any issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I also use baby sunscreen on my white greyhound.I found the Vetbasix was way too thick and hard to spread so my vet suggested kiddy sunscreen and it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for the info. I'm heading into Pet Barn later this arvo and will ask about it. Moosepup, is toddler sunscreen safe to use on dogs? Well I figure if a baby can wear it, the dog should be okay. :laugh: Most vets I've asked have been a bit vague. Just make sure they don't lick it heaps and don't get it in their eyes and you should be right. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCTRL Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Filtabac or My Pony Sunblock (ok, it's for ponies, but it won't turn dogs into ponies either :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donski Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm a fan of Fitabac and got it from my vet surgery. I like the tip about infant's sunscreen though. Bound to be cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade~Harley~Bella Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Out vet said to use kids sunscreen. I use it on Bella's face and we have had no issues apart from her not wanting to put it on :) I'd imagine it is much cheaper than dog sunscreen as well.
