" White Westie "
How do you keep a white westie clean. Mine looks as if he has brown knee high boots and a brown beard. I was told to wash him in peroxide, would this not burn him. Thanks.

I wouldn't use peroxide tho, remember that whatever you use your dog will lick off the residue, especially around its mouth & paws & certain things that are safe for us can damage dogs or cats organs.
It sounds like your dog might be over licking itself & what you describe sounds like saliva stains. I have used a product called Diamond Eye which worked very well around my dogs eyes....I bet they also do something suitable for your dog.
If your Westie is brown, it is almost certainly due to saliva staining - especially around the beard area. White dogs that lick themselves a lot will turn brown.
I would probably tackle the root of the problem rather than try to mask the effects - I am guessing that he licks his paws a lot..... perhaps slightly red skin..... does he have sore ears????
