How to Groom a Bull Terrier

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Rubber brush
Rubber grooming glove
Blunt-nosed scissors
Dog shampoo (whitener optional)
Coat conditioner
Bath towels
Natural bristle brush
Coat gloss

Step 1:
Brush your Bull Terrier's coat weekly with a rubber brush or rubber grooming glove. They shed very little, so more frequent brushing is unnecessary.
Step 2:
Clip his whiskers every one to two months with blunt-nosed scissors. Not every owner chooses to keep their Bull Terrier's whiskers clipped.
Step 3:
Bathe her every two to three months with a shampoo recommended by your vet, breeder or pet store. If you own a white Bull Terrier, a good quality whitening shampoo improves her dull white coat.
Step 4:
Apply a final coat conditioner on him by lightly rubbing it onto his coat and spreading it with a light brushing.
Step 5:
Dry your Bull Terrier with soft bath towels. While drying, brush out excess shed hair with a natural bristle brush.
Step 6:
Finish grooming with a misty spray of coat gloss to give his coat a nice sheen.

Tips & Warnings

Before bathing, brush out excess shed hair with a rubber brush.
