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.
