Several Westie clubs provide good guidelines for grooming this breed. The outer coat is not extremely long, but hangs rather straight. The undercoat is softer and thick. A regular brushing is recommended to keep the coat in good order. A West Highland White Terrier should not be bathed too frequently because of the tendency to skin problems. Trimming is usually recommended around the ears, to shape the head and with the growth of the coat.
