West Highland Terrier Ideal weight range
6.8–10 kg
West Highland White Terriers are predisposed to both idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which progressively reduces exercise tolerance, and copper-associated chronic hepatitis, where copper accumulates in the liver over time. Both conditions are influenced by diet composition, and weight loss is a common early indicator that either is becoming clinically significant. Long-term copper-chelating medication is often prescribed for hepatitis. FitFido tracks both medication and weight in one place to make that routine easier to maintain.
Your dog is more than a breed average.
A generic range is just a starting point. FitFido uses your dog's unique breed characteristics, age, body type, and activity level to calculate their target weight and construct a custom plan that adjusts as you progress.
Please note that a dog's ideal weight depends on many individual factors, including height, bone structure, and overall body condition.
