Expert Answer

A Bichon Frise can be exposed to sunlight for about one hour each day. Moderate sun exposure kills some bacteria on the dog’s body, benefiting skin and coat health, and promotes calcium absorption and bone development, so it is very beneficial. However, owners should avoid exposing the Bichon to intense sun and for too long, to prevent heatstroke, dehydration, and even life-threatening harm.
