A Boston terrier’s eyes are more vulnerable to dryness than their longer-nosed counterparts.
Due to bulging eyes, Bostons are prone to Dry Eye, a lifelong condition that requires multiple eyes drops a day. Dry eyes can cause corneal abrasions and ulcers. A Boston terrier’s eyes are also prone to infection.
Because they are flat on their faces, they can suffer from corneal ulcers and other serious problems.

The Boston Terrier has short hair, making grooming a breeze.
Brushing them once or twice a week will remove loose hair and dirt, and stimulate the production of natural oils in their skin.
Bathing them should be done every two to four weeks. In some cases, they may require bathing more frequently.
But their coat will look beautiful with a glossy coat! And don’t forget to brush their teeth!
