Questions & Answers
Malteses are small, affectionate dogs that make wonderful pets. They have a long, silky white coat that needs to be groomed frequently, and they have a long, loyal life expectancy of up to 14 years, on average. Malteses don't usually need much exercise, and many enjoy playing indoors. They do, however, tend to become attached to one particular person and can be jealous of other animals or people in the house, so it's important to provide proper socialization.
Absolutely! Malteses are known to have very little shedding, making them ideal for households who don't want a lot of hair around. They have a dense, silky coat that sticks very close to their bodies and with regular grooming and brushing the amount of shedding from the Maltese is even less. They also don't have an undercoat, which helps to reduce shedding. Thanks to these coat characteristics, Malteses have been popular for decades and make excellent companion pets for allergy sufferers.
Yes, Malteses have special dietary needs. As a toy breed, they are more prone to developing food allergies and digestive issues, so feed them a balanced diet with limited ingredients. Additionally, their tiny bodies require quality nutrition from premium foods to ensure their growth and development remain healthy. Malteses also have smaller mouths and are prone to dental issues, which often requires softer, more easily chewable food.
Yes, Maltese breeds have certain requirements that must be met for their proper care and health maintenance. Although they are considered to be a relatively low maintenance breed when compared to other breeds, it is important to provide exercise, socialization and feeding requirements in order for them to live a long and healthy life. It is essential that they receive regular check-ups from the veterinarian to ensure that they are free from any medical conditions.
Malteses come in a variety of sizes, ranging from very small (about five to seven inches in height) to medium-sized (up to ten inches in height). The exact size of a Maltese depends on its gender: Male dogs tend to be larger than female dogs. Additionally, Maltese puppies often grow in size during the first few years of their life. Depending on how much exercise and food they get, their size may continue to increase as they grow older and develop.
Maltese dogs are generally very active and love to spend time playing and going on walks. These intelligent dogs have enough energy to keep up with their active owners and their wonderfully nature will make them willing participants in most activities. A Maltese's small size often fools people into thinking they have low energy but the truth is that these little dogs are often quite lively and enjoy having companionship. As long as Maltese dogs get their daily exercise and mental stimulation, they will more than happily accompany you through life’s adventures.
Yes, Malteses can generally get along with other pets. They are an inherently social breed, so they tend to get along well with cats, birds, and other small animals. These dogs usually enjoy playing with other four-legged members of the family, but they should be monitored around larger pets such as other breeds of dog to ensure a good relationship is maintained. Interactions between dogs should be supervised and positive, but even if the interaction isn't friendly, most Malteses will not be aggressive towards other pets in the home.
Training a Maltese can vary in difficulty, depending on the individual's age, behaviors, and past exposure to obedience training. Generally, a well-socialized Maltese is one that has been trained to obey simple commands such as sit, stay, and come. Training a young Maltese is relatively easy as they tend to be quite intelligent and have a lot of energy for learning, however they may be more difficult to train if they have not been exposed to basic obedience and attention early on in life.
