necessary to have registration and microchip information available. The

FREE EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR Ears and Feet:
Problem Areas for Allergic Westies
Valerie A. Fadok, DVM, PhD, Diplomate, ACVD
Thursday, October 2, 2014
6:30 pm Comfort Suites
700 West Uwchlan Ave
Exton, PA 19341 (across from the Hampton Inn on the SW corner of Rte100 and Rte113)
Our beloved Westies are prone to allergic skin disease. As part of allergies, ears and feet often get inflamed and secondary infections can develop. We
will talk about the types of ear infections we can see in allergic ears and how veterinarians approach diagnosis and treatment. The feet are often the first
part of the body affected in allergic dogs because dogs absorb their allergens through the skin. We will talk about simple remedies to help control foot itch as well as how to recognize when secondary infection is present. We will also
discuss some of the nonallergic problems affecting feet, including demodicosis and fungal infection.
Door prizes will be available and light refreshments will be served. Browse
our sales table for unique Westie items. Hope you can join us for this informative seminar!

For more information about the seminar contact Michael Higginbotham at [email protected] or 307-631-2779.
This summer found WPWHWTC members very busy. Many continued to achieve Titles and Awards in their various performance activities. All of us enjoyed extra walks and all around fun with our canine companions! Our September membership meeting will feature “ Back to the Basics” a hands- on workshop on caring for our Westies presented by our own Club members, Stuart Needel and Patti Marks. During the Montgomery Event, our sales table will be selling Bracelets for a Cause. These items are leather and crystal jewelry creations handcrafted by member Denise Collins. A portion all proceeds is donated to the National Canine Cancer Foundation. Please stop by and help support this worthwhile cause. http://www.wearethecure.org/friends/braceletsforacause#.U_M_7D-9KSN
We look forward to seeing you at Montgomery!
