Grooming

Boston Terriers shed, even though they have a short coat. This is particularly true as the seasons change. A healthy, glossy coat is the result of regular brushing, which should be done once or twice weekly, to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils. You may strengthen your relationship with your dog at the same time.

Except when they get too filthy or start to smell bad, Boston Terriers usually don't need to be bathed very often. If they are bathed too often, it could dry up their skin and remove the protective oils from their coat. Wash your dog with a mild dog shampoo at least once every four to eight weeks, or as your vet may advise. To avoid skin problems, be sure to dry them completely after a bath.

The charming facial wrinkles of Boston Terriers may also be a source of skin diseases because to the dirt and moisture they collect. To keep these wrinkles from becoming inflamed, wipe and dry them regularly with a moist cloth. If your veterinarian suggests using a wrinkle remover made for dogs, do so.

At least once every several weeks, give your Boston Terrier a trim. Problems with walking and discomfort caused by overgrown nails are real. Get a professional groomer or vet to cut them if you feel uneasy doing it yourself.

Once a week, look for redness, filth, or an unpleasant smell in your Boston Terrier's ears. To avoid getting an ear infection, gently clean the outer region of your ears with a moist cloth. Because of the risk of harm, you should not put anything into your ear canal.

Proper dental care is essential to the general well-being of your Boston Terrier. Use a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste to brush their teeth many times weekly. The use of dental chews or toys is another way to keep their teeth and gums healthy.

If you see redness, discharge, or irritation in your Boston Terrier's eyes, be sure to take note. If necessary, use a moist towel to gently wipe their eyes. Boston Terriers are prone to eye disorders because to their big eyes, therefore it's necessary to examine them often.

Every so often, a vet or professional groomer may need to express the anal glands of a Boston Terrier. See a doctor if your canine exhibits scooting behavior or symptoms of pain in the back region.
