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.
- 01
What to feed, and when
What a Cairn eats at each age, how much, and the two mistakes that are hardest to undo.
- 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.
- 03
The first thirty days
The journey home, the first night, house training as a timetable, and what happens at the vet.
- 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.
