Yes, and yes. You can put sunblock on a dog (I would recommend children's if you're going to use "human" sunblock) otherwise they do make sunblock especially for doggies. If you have a dog with a pink nose or with light patches of fur around their eyes or nose (like Charlie has a black nose, but his skin is white, and his fur is NOT thick around his nose/mouth area at all so I put sunscreen around that area) and Jamie has a pink spotted nose, so I put sunscreen on her nose because they ARE prone to being sunburned!
