Tips on Grooming Your Boston Terrier

    Low Maintenance: The debonair Boston doesn’t have a doggie odor and he shouldn’t need a bath more often than every few months. The rest is basic care. Trim the toenails every few weeks. Long nails can get caught on things and tear off. That’s really painful, and it will bleed a lot. Brush the teeth frequently for good dental health.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Boston Terrier Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important part of general pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Boston Terrier dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore reduce the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Boston Terrier dog are tasks that help to reinforce the good relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Boston Terrier

    How often to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Boston Terrier Information

The Boston terrier is a compactly built, square-proportioned, short-backed, clean-cut dog. It should convey the impression of determination, strength, sturdiness, liveliness, and style, with a graceful carriage. It retains many of the attributes of its bulldog ancestors, but in a clean-cut package that makes a handy house companion. Its short fine coat, with distinctive markings, adds to its dapper appearance.

The Boston is devoted and sensitive to its owner's wishes and moods. It is well-mannered indoors but saucy and playful (especially enjoying ball chasing) whenever the chance arises. Somewhat stubborn, it is nonetheless clever and learns readily. It is reserved with strangers, and some may be aggressive toward strange dogs. Some bark a lot.
