You will want to get your westhighland terrier puppy used to a collar and leash as quickly as possible. Buy a light collar and leash, suitable for puppies, and get an ID tag to go with them. The grooming routine is also something that it needs to experience as early as possible. Have a brush or comb ready at hand.

Some owners recommend a bed of old towels, while others suggest faux lambskin. Like everything else you buy for your westie puppy, whatever you choose for a bed should be both washable and durable, as well as comfortable for your dog.

Last, but not least, find a veterinarian. A reputable west highland white terrier breeder will even let you bring dog to a vet before purchase, in order to ensure that dog you bring home is healthy.

Make sure house is warm, before you bathe your pup, as puppies can lose body temperature quickly. Avoid getting shampoo in their eyes and keep water out of ears. Wash pup’s face last. Towel dry your pup as soon as his bath is done. You can use a hair dryer, but regulate heat, or you might burn your pup.

Puppies normally lose disease protection they’ve received from their mothers, when they are around six and sixteen weeks of age. To avoid their getting sick, keep your pup away from sick dogs. Check with vet when to schedule puppy’s shots.

Lastly, here’s one way to keep your Westie puppy’s fur white. Use a white grooming chalk and sprinkle it into coat once a week or as needed.

Take care of your Westie puppy, and you’ll be rewarded with an intelligent dog that’s loving and delightful.
