Westie Health Concerns
The West Highland White Terrier Club of America web site has an
excellent list of virtually all of the health concerns that affect
Westies, plus lots of additional information about each concern. Rather
than duplicate all of the information, we are providing a link below.
Please do not become concerned that Westies as a breed are
plagued with a ton of health problems. Rather, a relatively small
percentage of Westies do have one or more of the health concerns listed.
Westies are a tough, hearty breed; they have some health concerns just
like any other breed of dog. Our goal in the Westie Foundation is to
minimize or eliminate as many of the health concerns affecting Westies
as possible.
