Caring for your Cairn

Four pages for the person who has just taken a puppy home, or is about to. Read them in order the first time: feeding, then the coat, then the first month, then daily life.

  1. 01

    What to feed, and when

    What a Cairn eats at each age, how much, and the two mistakes that are hardest to undo.

  2. 02

    The coat, and the one decision that lasts

    Why a Cairn is stripped rather than clipped, what happens if you clip, and the ten minutes a week that make both easier.

  3. 03

    The first thirty days

    The journey home, the first night, house training as a timetable, and what happens at the vet.

  4. 04

    Living with a terrier

    What the breed actually asks of you — the nose, the digging, the noise, and what a Cairn is like at eight.
