"After coming back from a long walk yesterday with Dad, Mom greeting us with a Summertime Dog Chew Treat. Wow, did that feel great!"   Molly May I wish I would have found such a list when I was searching for Cairn Terrier pet owner grooming supplies. Most of what I bought was based on reading material geared toward show dog owners. I hope you find this list helpful and it saves you money.

I keep all of my Cairn grooming supplies in an enclosed plastic container and it sits on the grooming table. In that way everything is there when I need them, and I do not have to stop the grooming process for "any" reason once I begin.

Caution: Never leave a Cairn Terrier in a grooming table unattended. Keep a close eye on them at all times when they are on the grooming table. This is especially important if they are tethered to an arm extension by their neck.
