Westie and Food Allergy….
It is always teh best thing to choose a premium diet that agrees with any dog’s digestive system and keeps his coat shiny is sufficient for nourishment. However, it has been noted – and it is important to note here as well- that this breed is allergic to almost all grains and most proteins. So it is a good idea to let them get used to Wellness brand fish and sweet potato dry food. Another good idea is to gie them WetNose pumpkin cookies. Even if your Westie is initially okay with grains and red meat, he/she may develop allergies to those things later on and there is nothing worse than increased veterinary bills due to chronic allergies!

Hi !
My name is “Bichette”, french female Westie 3 years old, and my “mother” ’s name is Clochette93.
Clochette feeds me now with lamb or chicken or salmon because I started getting chronic allergies with red meat though I didn’t have younger.
She had difficulties to understand those allergies source because nobody answered her on the beggining. One of her blog pal explained her – thanks to her !
