What are you guys using?
I just came from dermatologist. He asked what I did all that time outdoors.
I replied I mess with dogs. They didn't make sunscreen years ago.
Just thought I'd pass it on. One biopsy too late....

They say the damage we see in our 40s and 50s occurred when we were little kids...I have had lots of pre-cancerous lesions burned off of my face over the last 10 years, long after I started wearing a broad-brimmed hat, tons of sunscreen, long sleeves.
My doc says you should wear sun screen on your face every day of the year. I have to confess I am not THAT diligent.

"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
One thing I have discovered. I scuba dive a lot and I'm in and out of the water and riding in boats with salt water spray. I always used Coppertone sport until I discovered Bullfrog. Bullfrog stays on much longer in those conditions. I don't know why. We had a very unplanned and unscientific study in Hawaii. I group of us went on a motorized raft tour. We were gone for 7 hours. Half the boat used a bottle of coppertone and 3 of us used my Bullfrog. We went snorkeling then took off and nobody had time to reapply. The raft ride was brutal in 4 foot seas and we were covered with salt spray. The entire group that used coppertone was burned pretty bad. The 3 of us had no sun burn..
So longer answer I trust bullfrog.
Sun damage? Usually what is done is done. However for future protection a good hat and sunglassess are always a plus. However I have worked with dogs that dont like it when I train with sun glassess on. (strange I know) There are alot of good products out there for sun screen. Myself I like the sport style sprays. (no rubbing). If your are in the field and need to apply or re-apply and have dirty hands (i.e. dirt, dog or duck on your hands) that makes it no fun to rub on the sunscreen. Good Luck.
Helioplex is more stable than PABA, neither lasts aall day and need to be reapplied. I use the same stuff as Bon except maybe SPF 70.
Water babies SPF 50 everyday from April to sept
