Can you shave a Cairn Terrier? Can you shave a Cairn Terrier?
No, you should not shave a Cairn Terrier as it can interfere with their natural coat regulation and protection. Cairn Terriers have a double coat that helps keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter and protects their skin from sunburn. Shaving can interfere with this natural insulation and alter the texture and color of a Cairn Terrier’s coat. The coat might grow back softer, thinner, or with a different color or pattern than before shaving.
