Why UV Protection Matters for Pets
Many pet owners don’t realise that cats and dogs can suffer from UV-related skin damage, particularly on areas with thin fur — ears, nose, and the top of the head. Light-coloured and short-haired breeds are most at risk. A sun hat provides an easy first line of defence during outdoor activities.

FAQs — Pet Sun Protection
❓ Can dogs get sunburned?
Yes — especially on the nose, ears, and belly. Light-coloured and hairless breeds are most vulnerable. Sun hats, pet sunscreen, and shade are the best protections.
❓ What size HiDREAM hat fits my cat?
Measure your cat’s head circumference. The HiDREAM hat fits 22-38cm. Most adult cats measure 24-32cm.
❓ Are pet sun hats safe?
Yes — as long as they fit correctly and the chin strap is not too tight (you should fit two fingers under the strap). Always supervise your pet while wearing accessories.
❓ How do I wash the pet sun hat?
Hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Air dry flat to maintain the brim shape.
