Care
Due to their short, dense coat, Boerboels shed moderately. They look their finest when brushed weekly with a soft-bristle brush, rubber grooming mitt, or hound glove to remove any loose hair. This also promotes hair growth and distributes skin oils throughout the coat, keeping it healthy.
Boerboels require only occasional baths, but their nails should be trimmed regularly.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
