For a cairn terrier, does the 10 or 12 work better? On their website, they recommended 12. But I saw that a few reviewers said 10.

I have a rough Jack Russell and he does fine with a 12 so dont think the 12 would work for a Cairn. Different fur altogether.

I dont have a Cairn. I have rough coat Jack Russell Terriers and the 12 works great with those coats which tend to be quite thick.

I have a cavalier with a thick coat, not a cairn, but I think it depends on the size of your dog and thickness of the coat. For example, some cavalier owners use one for their dog's body and a smaller one for their ears. My cavalier is larger than typical and has thicker fur, so I went bigger with the 20. If your cairn is typical size with a typical coat, I'd guess 12. It's probably negligible unless you're showing your dog, though. I doubt you'd find one or the other totally useless. Some Facebook groups for your breed might be helpful (that's how I found out about this for my cavalier).

10 or 12. They work great. I bought some for our friends too. Everyone loved them.

Yes, you can set it on 1-10. We have it set on 7. It's very effective for our 8 month old black lab. He learned very quickly. You must be consistent. There is a 12 hour limit. We only use it when we put him in his outdoor kennel when we are at work. We are very pleased with this purchase. Good battery life. I would recommend.

According to the listing for Australian Cattle Dog on the Mars breed usage chart you would use the 12 blade. I suggest you take a look at the Mars site to determine which tools are best for your dog. I use the 10 blade on our English Springer Spaniel with excellent results. I also have used the 10 blade on a Golden retriever.

I have a 11yo 26-pound Scottish Terrier. I feed him once a night. I put in ONE level scoop. Mixed it in.He still likes to run and be a pup again.

Works great on Cairn Terrier. Many professional dog groomers use this tool so I assume it works for about any breed.

30's are sharper than 10's. I cut a Maltese dog with a 30. He has fine hair and it works even after I wash him with a shampoo and conditioner. I believe it will cut a Persian. Washing that little rascal is what I would be hesitant about.

That would depend on whether or not your dog would duck. We have cats. One uses her shoulder to bump it open. The other 2 run at it with there faces. Our cats are smaller then the opening & have no problem with it. I think for an 11 inch dog I would go with a 12 inch opening.

I have a "morkie" and I use a 7 on her. Works great! If the hair is really thick use a 5 skip tooth first ( but finish with the 7)

I have a small rat terrier. She uses the pads to pee on probably four times a day. So I usually use two pads each day. I also walk her a couple of times a day and then she pees outside. She is 6 years old and I have just recently trained her to use the pads. Never too old to learn.

I have been researching these for a bit. Some sites say 12-18. But I downloaded the PDF file from First Alert and it says 11. So that's what I'm going with. I don't recall which model number nor do I know if it makes a difference. Hope this helps.

I have a new Queensland Heeler and have been using the 18 inch ones with great results. She is learning the difference between a 'play bite' and a 'work bite.' Was surprised to see so many responses for use with animals! Will be buying the 23 inch ones today. People keep looking at my bruised upper arms then at my husband. Thanks for the input!

Buy the smallest...my ShihTzu is 10 pounds, my friends Westie is 15 XXS works on both. Love them. Tried them on the Westie today in the house and she never wanted them off. Just ordered 2 more sets.

I would go two 12s over one 15. I don't know for sure how just one Brutus sounds because I always have 2 going. but I would highly recommend 2 brutus 15s if you could. these things tear my car up.

I sent this one back and ordered the larger one. It is very small but it depends on what kind of dog you have.

That's about what I was guessing, about 10 or 12. I guess I could measure it out, but that doesn't sound too fun. Thanks all.
