Yes, older West Highland White Terriers (Westies) can experience hearing loss as they age, similar to many Dog Breeds. This condition, known as presbycusis, is often a natural part of the aging process. Factors such as genetics, previous ear infections, and overall health can also contribute to hearing loss in senior dogs. Regular veterinary check-ups can help monitor and manage these changes.
