Questions & Answers
Malteses are incredibly outgoing and playful dogs, usually with a white coat of fur and black eyes and nose. A comical fact about Malteses is their tendency to talk. They can be quite vocal, and will bark when they want attention. They don't require much exercise, but love outdoor activities, and socializing. Malteses also have many unique traits, such as their long and luxurious coats, which require frequent brushing and trimming. They also have unique long, silky hair on their heads, chests, and legs.
Managing allergies with Malteses is best done by understanding how to reduce triggers. Start by grooming the dog regularly to ensure they don't become a source of allergens. Try to limit the Maltese's contact with other allergens like dust, pollen, and dander. You may want to keep the Maltese exclusively indoors or only allow them out for short periods at a time to further limit contact with allergens. You should also avoid bathing the Maltese frequently because it can dry out skin and increase the production of dander.
Malteses are small, toy-sized dogs with a silky white to light tan coat. As such, they require a special diet to stay in optimal health. They should be fed a well-balanced diet consisting of high-quality kibble, canned wet food, and occasionally, human-grade cooked foods. Protein should be the main component of their diet, with good sources of animal-based proteins like fish, poultry, and beef being appropriate. Additionally, carbohydrates such as whole-grains, oats, and barley are important to an overall nutrient-balanced diet for any Maltese.
Being prepared for a new Maltese is important in ensuring a happy, healthy home for both you and your furry friend. First, be sure you have the right supplies food, water, toys, and a bed for your pet to sleep in. You should also have leash, a collar, a brush, and nail clippers. Second, enroll in an obedience class or find a trainer who is familiar with the Maltese breed. This will help your dog adjust to its new home and make a smooth transition from its previous home.
No, Malteses are generally considered small dogs, though there is variation among individual dogs. Generally, Malteses are the smallest of the commonly recognized small dog breeds, standing no taller than 12 inches and generally weighing no more than 7-8 pounds. Even full-grown, their size is often more comparable to puppies of larger breeds. While small in stature, Malteses are known for being energetic and friendly, making them popular companion dogs. They also possess a large personality, and can be just as entertaining as larger breeds.
The amount of exercise a Maltese should get can vary from individual dog to individual dog, depending on their age, current health, and level of activity. Generally speaking, an adult Maltese should have a good 30-minute walk per day. However, more active Maltese will need upwards of 45-60 minutes of daily exercise, in addition to other activities such as fetch, agility, running, or games. It's important to check with a veterinarian to make sure that your Maltese's exercise regimen is appropriate for their age, health, and breed.
Generally, Maltese dogs get along well with other pets such as cats, rodents, small dogs, and birds. Malteses are social and gentle by nature so they tend to make friends with other animals quite quickly. That said, the process of introducing a Maltese to another pet should always be done with caution and supervision. It's best to always supervise any interactions between two animals, regardless of species, in a controlled area at first and observe their behavior before allowing them full access to the same space.
Training a Maltese is a unique process that requires patience, consistency, and understanding. This breed is generally eager to please, but like all breeds, they have their own characteristics that need to be taken into consideration. For example, Maltese need a gentle and yet firm leader to look to for guidance. The training should begin when they are puppies to help them build a natural trusting relationship with their owners. Consistency is key to maintain control. All commands should be practiced several times a day per day in many different settings.
