Caring for Your Maltese Puppy

Provide your Maltese puppies with high-quality, small-breed puppy food to ensure they get the right nutrients. Our puppies are sent home on Royal Canin Puppy Chiot Small/Petit food, specially formulated to meet their dietary needs. It's important to maintain a consistent feeding schedule and monitor their weight to avoid obesity. 

Maltese have a long, silky coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting. The Maltese is considered a hypoallergenic breed. Their hair-like coat tends to hold onto shed hair, reducing the release of allergens into the environment. Regular grooming can further minimize potential allergy triggers.

​

Daily brushing is recommended to keep their coat healthy and tangle-free. Regular baths and routine trims are essential to maintain their luxurious appearance. Additionally, pay special attention to cleaning around their eyes to prevent tear stains​

Ensure your Maltese puppy receive all necessary vaccinations and regular veterinary check-ups. Common health issues in Maltese include dental problems and patellar luxation, so regular dental care and monitoring of their joints are essential.

Despite their small size, Maltese are active dogs that enjoy daily walks and playtime. They are intelligent and respond well to positive reinforcement training methods. Early socialization and training will help them become well-adjusted adults​

Maltese are indoor dogs that thrive in a loving home environment. They are well-suited for apartment living but enjoy having a secure outdoor space to explore. Due to their small size, it's important to protect them from rough handling, especially around children and larger pets​
