The Dog of Our Lives My precious West Highland White Terrier is more than just a pet - she's family! That's why I want to give you the ultimate guide on how to care for this lovable breed. Westies are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, which makes them perfect companions for families with children. They're also incredibly intelligent and easy to train, but they can be a bit stubborn at times. Consistent positive reinforcement is key to housebreaking your Westie, so don't be discouraged if it takes time. Grooming is an essential part of caring for your Westie. Their distinctive white coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting, as well as occasional bathing to keep them clean. Keep in mind that they shed heavily during spring and fall, so you may want to consider investing in a deshedding tool. In terms of diet, Westies are prone to obesity, so it's crucial to monitor their food intake and ensure they're getting regular exercise. A daily walk or playtime outside should be the minimum, but feel free to increase that based on your dog's individual energy level. Overall, owning a Westie requires patience, dedication, and love. But trust me - it's all worth it in the end when you see those big brown eyes staring back at you!
