Why You Should Think Twice Before Getting a West Highland White Terrier

Why You Should Think Twice Before Getting a West Highland White Terrier

West Highland White Terriers are curious and energetic, which makes them champion destroyers of furniture, especially if separation anxiety sets in. Their signature white coat needs heavy upkeep: trims every 1-2 months, regular hand-stripping, twice-weekly brushing, and monthly baths. They are also known for sensitive stomachs and skin that flares up with the seasons, so diet changes should follow a gradual 7-day transition to a low-allergen food. Add a stubborn, treat-motivated temper and a purchase price of roughly 4,000-20,000 yuan plus higher grooming bills, and the Westie is best suited to experienced, time-rich owners.

My little Poodle suddenly started losing hair β€” what’s going on?
