Bridgton Veterinary will be hosting a Breed of the Month for the year 2011.

During each month we will choose a breed and invite all of our clients that have that particular breed to come in to have your pets photo taken and receive a special gift from BVH.

We will have information regarding that particular breed each month on display. 
 
 

 

February is all about

The West Highland White Terrier

 

   The Westie is a small dog averaging 9-12 inches in height and weighing in at 13-22 pounds. Like most of the terrier breeds he was meant for hunting rats, fox, and other animals considered "vermin".  Though he is small the Westie still requires a vigirous daily walk to release that terrier energy. However as long as you can provide that, his friendly nature makes him a decent choice for city/apartment living.
