So far, he has a fine coat; I've seen Westies nearly lose all their hair via severe skin allergies. I do recommend being proactive.
My Westie is 15 lbs so the Vet put him on Comfortis ( would not put Lucy on it). I have yet to find a flea on that dog so far and he is outside all the time.
If your dog is allergic to flea bites; then you will have to find a way to control the fleas. |
have you ever seen the Westie diet on the internet as some westie owners swear by this diet for them as westies have a horrible time with allergy issues in that breed
