A bath for your Cairn

An adult Cairn that is hand-stripped, which preserves the natural harshness and repellent properties of the coat, does not need a full soap and water more often than every six months.  A waterless shampoo can be used as often as two or three times a week for in-between cleanups.  We recommend: SUPER BLUE PLUS™ Waterless Shampoo or equivalent. Cairns that are groomed using clippers or scissors can be bathed  more often but each bath  should be followed by a ten-minute rinse under warm water.  This ensures all soap is rinsed clean and re-hydrates the skin.   Ask your groomer to make sure to do so.
