Questions & Answers
Malteses are an ancient, loyal and affectionate breed of small dog. They are typically 7-8 inches tall and weigh between 4-8 lbs. though there can be larger variations. Malteses generally have a long, soft-as-silk, snowy white or light cream color coat which requires regular brushing and grooming. Though they do not need large amounts of exercise, they do require mental stimulation as they are very intelligent and can become bored easily. It's important to provide a consistent and loving environment with plenty of positive reinforcement in order to bring out the best in their personality.
Managing allergies with a Maltese breed of dog can be relatively easy as long as you take the necessary precautions. To minimize your allergic reactions, bathe the dog frequently, use only hypoallergenic soap, and brush it regularly. Vacuum often to reduce the amount of pet dander hovering in the air. An air purifier is also useful in controlling allergens. Moreover, make sure that the Maltese has a good diet that's tailored for their needs and keep them free of fleas to avoid possible skin problems.
To make sure your Maltese is getting a healthy, balanced diet, it's recommended to feed them high-quality kibble specially formulated for small breeds. However, depending on their individual nutritional needs, you may also want to consider adding some wet food or other treats occasionally to ensure they are receiving adequate nutrition. It's important to avoid giving them table scraps, due to the higher salt and fat content in most human food. It's also important to always provide a fresh supply of water for your Maltese, as they may become dehydrated relatively easily.
To become the best puppy parent for your Maltese, it is important to ensure they are provided with stimulating activity, adequate space for exercise and lots of loving attention. Exercise such as walks or playtime not only provides physical fitness for your Maltese but also helps to enhance the bond between you and your canine companion. Additionally, look into training classes that will help to shape your Maltese’s behavior, teaching them appropriate responses to commands and how to interact with other dogs, children and new environments.
Yes, Malteses are considered small dogs. They typically measure anywhere from 7 to 12 inches in height and weigh around 4 to 7 pounds. Malteses are known to be loving animals, who display a lot of affection to their owners. They are also known to be quite playful and lively so, despite their small size, they still can provide a lot of fun for their owners. Malteses also live long lives, with some living for close to 15 years with proper care.
Yes, you can take your Maltese running with you, provided you take certain precautions. Make sure your Maltese is healthy and fit enough to handle the activity before beginning. Start slowly, and warm up and cool down properly just as you would do for yourself. When selecting a running route, be sure to take one with plenty of shade and alternate exposure to sun. Always offer your Maltese breaks and plenty of water to avoid overheating. It's best to find a low-traffic area to ensure his safety and wear reflective gear when running at night. Most importantly, have fun!
Generally, Malteses get along with other pets very well, as long as they are given proper socialization both inside and outside the home. The Maltese is an affectionate and loyal breed, and they are usually very adaptable and tolerant of other animals. However, they can be very protective of their owners, and if they sense their owners are threatened by another pet, they may become aggressive. As long as all pets are supervised and taught proper behavior, it is likely that Malteses will be able to peacefully coexist with other pets.
The amount of time spent training Malteses each day will vary depending on your goals and the individual needs of the dog. Generally speaking, daily sessions of positive reinforcement that are around 15 minutes in length can offer great results. Along with your training session, it’s also important to spend additional time throughout the day reinforcing the behaviors you’ve already learned. This may include anywhere from 15-30 minutes of practice per day. You don’t want to stress your pup out too much, so this can be done in smaller, more frequent sessions.
