Look after the hairHair also protects some dogs feet, ears and eyes from injury especially in cold climates that are iced over regular. The skin and colour pigmentation come from cells in the skin that produce melanin, the Westie has a single colour gene, while the Dalmatian has two colour genes (Black & White). The condition of the hair mirrors the general state of health, dietary, fats, nutrition, thyroid problems, hormone imbalances, pore infections, hot spots all contribute to the hairs growth. Its important to brush your Westie all year round, trim away excess hair from his ears, inside and outside. Keep hair between the pads as short has possible, you can use an electric nose trimmer designed for humans, use one to remove the hair around pads. A good hair shampoo is tea-tree-oil which can be purchased in any supermarkets, its not going to hurt to wash your Westie once a week, depending on how dirty he has become. Above all, inspect the hair regular, keep an eye on the skin too, spot any problems early. |
