Typically, grooming your Boston Terrier is an undemanding task. You will need to brush your terrier�s coat with a firm, non-wire brush. Wire brushes can scratch your Boston Terrier�s skin, so a natural brush is best. Baths should be taken when necessary and you should use a low fragrance shampoo.

Nails will need clipping and a professional groomer may make a prudent choice as their specialized equipment makes for a comfortable trim.

The key to keeping your Boston Terrier relaxed enough to allow the grooming is your tone and actions. You should reassure your terrier in a calm, low tone, and establish it as a relaxed and luxurious event. Your Boston Terrier may begin to enjoy and welcome these procedures.
