Questions & Answers
Maltese dogs are small, white, and fluffy, and they make great companion pets. They usually weigh around four to six pounds, and are quite active, as well as being very intelligent and eager to please. Maltese are known to have excellent memories; they can remember tricks, commands, and even the route of their daily walk. Another fun fact is that they don't require much grooming; they have a hypoallergenic coat which means they don't need much brushing. They also don't shed often, and have an average lifespan ranging between 12-15 years.
Maltese dogs, like other breeds classified as hypoallergenic, do not have a full hypoallergenic coat. That being said, due to their lack of an undercoat and their lesser tendencies for shedding, they are generally well tolerated by people with allergies. However, any dog can still potentially trigger allergies and it is important to note that even if a particular breed is considered hypoallergenic, it is always a good idea to do a test run prior to committing to adoption.
Yes, Malteses have special dietary needs. They are small dogs with large appetites and can gain weight quickly if fed too much. To avoid putting your Maltese at risk for health issues, it should receive a high-quality dog food diet. Owners should avoid foods that are high in fat or sugar and be mindful of the number of treats they give to their pup. Avoid chastising Malteses as a means to control their weight and maintain an active lifestyle. Because of their size, smaller portions should be given at regular intervals, so that the pup doesn't become overstuffed.
Yes, Maltese do have certain requirements that are unique to the breed. Primarily, they need frequent grooming and brushing due to their long, thick coats. They also have a tendency to gain weight easily, so owners need to ensure they are fed the correct diet and that they are adequately exercised. In addition, Maltese can be prone to eye infections and gum disease, so regular check-ups by a veterinarian are advised. Owners should also take extra precautions during warm weather; as this breed is sensitive to heat they should never be left out in temperatures that are too hot.
The size of your Maltese puppy when fully grown will depend on a number of factors, such as nutrition, genetics, and overall health. Generally speaking, Maltese puppies grow to be between 5 to 10 pounds as adults, although it is also possible for them to reach 15 pounds. As your pup grows, watch for clues like shoulder height and overall build – they are indicative of how big your pup will eventually be. Additionally, keep an eye on any health issues, like growth problems, that could impede full growth.
Yes, you certainly can take your Maltese running. They are a fairly active breed and can usually keep up with your running pace. Before you start taking your Maltese on on your running adventures, make sure you consult with your vet and discuss any health related questions or concerns you may have. It is also important to make sure your Maltese is fit to run, is up to date on all necessary vaccinations, and has some solid obedience training.
Yes, Malteses have a friendly disposition and are good with children as long as they are well-socialized and trained. Their small size can make them a favorite of children, but due to their energy level, they should be supervised while playing, as too much roughhousing can often lead to an accident. Malteses can be playful and will usually keep up with the kids if they start a game. They are usually very tolerant to children and make excellent family pets.
Training your Maltese can seem like a daunting task but is possible with practice and time. First, it is important to understand that your Maltese is an incredibly intelligent breed of dog and is able to learn quickly. To start, it is important to make sure that you are consistently providing your Maltese with verbal and physical praise when they begin to exhibit good behavior. Next, use positive reinforcement as the primary form of reward when training, such as using treats or providing verbal praises.
