Slicker Brushes

For a quick comb through, you can pick up an inexpensive slicker brush at any pet shop. It comes in handy when a stripper is not what you need because you simply want to brush the Cairn or detangle any areas.

I use a slicker brush made by Millers Forge. It is of professional quality and has a particularly soft touch on the Cairns' coat. Our Cairn Terriers love to be brushed and I started brushing them with a slicker brush when they were puppies even when they didn’t need to be brushed.

I wanted to get them used to being brushed and handled on the grooming table. So for just a few minutes a day for about a month, I simply put them on the grooming table and used the slicker brush.

To this day they look forward to being brushed and even stripped! Now the toe nail trimming challenge is another matter all together.
