Caring for Maltese dogs
Malteses require daily combing for their long hair. If it is problematic, you can take the dog to the groomer to keep the coat short. What is interesting, the hair is hypo allergenic, so it makes Maltese a good pet for people with allergies or asthma. Another thing to remember is regular eye cleaning to prevent the risk of tear-staining. Maltese dogs are prone to tooth decay and gum disease, so it is crucial to remember about proper dental care. To keep the hair white, a Maltese must be bathed quite often – even every week if the dog plays a lot outdoors.
