West Highland WhiteTerrier useful grooming tips

•  West Highland WhiteTerrier grooming includes following key considerations:
  
•  A show dog must be hand stripped to give the dog its Westie look - round head, carrot-shaped tail, and blended skirt.
• Hand stripping involves actually pulling hairs. When they grow back, they tend to be straighter and coarser. 
• A clipped Westie coat will be softer and curlier, and more prone to staining.
• Because of their white coats, staining is another problem peculiar to West Highland Terrier grooming. 
• If the hair is white at the base, licking might be the problem, and is often triggered by cuts and abrasions, or objects lodged in the hair around the paw.
• Hair that is stained down to the base may indicate a fungal or yeast infection, and your Westie should see a veterinarian.
• Staining around the muzzle is most often caused by the food the dog eats.-
• Check for red food dies, or beets in the formula. 
• If you want your Westie to attain show dog perfection, a cotton ball dipped in hydrogen peroxide, and wiped on the beard daily, will lighten and prevent the stains
