Expert Grooming Tips For Your Boston Terrier
To keep grooming fun for both my Boston Terrier and myself, I always try to be gentle, focus on removing dead hair and revitalize the skin. When the Boston Terriers skin glands produce oil it gives the fur a lovely, healthy shine.
If there is a section of fur that is especially matted, I use a touch of cooking oil and try slowly to work it out. If it still seems impossible, I will generally just cut it away with scissors rather than hurt my Boston Terriers' skin.
By taking a brush and using it on the back of my own hand, I can test to see if the bristles are painful or soft. If they are painful, it is not a good idea to use it on my Boston Terriers' skin.
During grooming I always keep a careful eye out for any reddening of the skin, signs of fleas or other parasites and any spots that are swollen or painful to the touch.
