* Initial growth: You'll see noticeable fur growth within a few weeks.
* Full coat: It typically takes around 6-8 months for a Westie's coat to grow back to its full length and density.
* Mature coat: Even after reaching full length, the coat might continue to thicken and become more textured over time.
Factors affecting growth:
* Age: Puppies tend to grow fur faster than adult dogs.
* Health: A healthy dog will have faster fur growth.
* Diet: Good nutrition contributes to healthy coat growth.
* Season: Fur tends to grow more quickly in the spring and summer.
* Clipping style: A shorter clip will grow back faster than a longer one.
Important Note: If you're concerned about your Westie's fur growth, it's always best to consult your veterinarian. They can help identify any potential health issues that may be affecting their coat.
