One of the most important things you can do for your Westie is to feed him or her correctly. Most Westies to some degree or another are allergic to corn and wheat. Please be aware of what the back of your bag of store bought kibble states as ingredients. And not all wording on bags of kibble is true.  The words natural and holistic are often misused.

We have listed just a few of the commercial ARF and kibble dog food companies that we believe live to a higher standard. Variety is the spice of life for your dog as well as for you. So give all of these foods a try and rotate them with your Westies, they will love you for this!

A website devoted to the feeding of Westies the natural way. This site has everything you could ever want to know about the feeding of ARF or Appropriate Raw Food Diet. It has many links to other informative sites as well as a list of publications of interest on this way of feeding.

Everyone loves to give their dogs something yummy to chew on. We recommend that you do not give Westies rawhide. Some products may be ok but some have manufacturing procedures that are suspect. One of our very favorite chewy type sticks is the 12 inch BULLY STICKS, that are not made from hide but are 100% protein, digestible with no odor or staining. Westies LOVE these!
