Health:

The average Westie lives to 12 to 14 years. 


They are genetically susceptible dermatitis and other skin conditions; luxating patella, a problem with the knee caps; fibrosis in the lungs. 


If you have a Westie, ask your vet about regular health screening.

Grooming:


Westies are particularly light shedders with low-maintenance coats. 


The tough outercoat repels dirt; the undercoat should be combed regularly. 


These dogs do require occasional haircuts. 

Keep your Westie looking beautiful and photogenic and your friend may want to paint a portrait or 
do a pencil drawing of your Westie: -
