How to Groom a Boston Terrier
Boston’s have a fine short-haired coat that does shed, although it is not much. It is recommended to do weekly brushings with a rubber grooming mitt or hound glove to remove any loose hairs. This will also promote new growth and help move the skin oils throughout the coat. Bath time should be occasional unless they get into something really nasty.

Boston Terrier’s exercise regiment varies from pup to pup. Some will do well with one or two good long walks a day, while others may want to have some decent playtime at the park. The benefit is that they adapt to their owner’s lifestyle so depending on how you raise your Boston.
