Sun Safe Adventures with Luna: Why We Love Sunny Dog & Co

If you know me, you know this already — I’m that dog mum.
The kind who plans weekends around dog beaches, café stops, bike rides and events… and somehow ends up with more dog accessories than shoes.

If you are new here, hello and welcome to Me, My Dog and You — a little corner of the internet where I share our dog-friendly adventures, favourite finds, must-have accessories, events we love, and everything in between. And honestly, what better way to kick off the new year than with a brand we genuinely use and adore: Sunny Dog & Co.

Why Sun Protection for Dogs Actually Matters

When people think about sun protection for dogs, they often picture light-coloured pups. But here’s the thing — dark-coated dogs like Luna need sun protection too.

Even with her almost-black curls, Luna can still be affected by:

• UV exposure during long days outdoors

• Overheating on warm Melbourne days

• Sensitive areas like her eyes, face and belly

• Glare, wind and debris when we’re on the move

Sun safety isn’t about fur colour — it’s about comfort, protection and letting your dog enjoy adventures safely.

Beach Days = Rashie Vest On 🌊

One of our favourite places to be is the dog beach. Sand between the paws, salty air, zoomies for days.

Whenever we’re heading seaside, Luna wears her Sunny Dog & Co rashie vest. It’s lightweight, comfy, and designed to protect her from harsh UV rays while she runs, swims and rolls in the sand like a happy little nugget.

Bonus points:

• Easy to slip on

• Doesn’t restrict movement

• Dries quickly after a swim

• Looks ridiculously cute (important)

Bike Rides & Adventures = Doggles Time 🚲😎

If we’re heading out for a bike ride or an adventure where there’s wind, dust or lots of sun, Luna’s doggles come with us.

They help:

• Protect her eyes from UV rays

• Shield against wind, debris and bugs

• Keep her comfy and confident on the move

Plus… she looks like an absolute fashion icon.

Out & About in Melbourne = Sun Hats On 🧢

From markets to café hopping to events around Melbourne, Luna is often rocking her Sunny Dog & Co sun hat.

It’s perfect for:

• Shading her face and eyes

• Keeping her cool on warmer days

• Adding a little extra personality to her outfit

Function and fashion? Yes please.

Why We Love Sunny Dog & Co

What I love most about Sunny Dog & Co is that their products are:

• Designed with dogs in mind (comfort always comes first)

• Practical for real-life adventures

• Stylish without being over the top

• Perfect for Australia’s sunny climate

These are pieces we actually use — not just for photos, but for everyday adventures. Plus, I can twin with Luna is my own sun hat or cap. #twinningiswinning
