Maltese Dogs

Having your Maltese in the best shape will require of some daily cares. This is a breed known for having the tendency to present eye and dental problems. You will have to do a regular cleaning of the eyes, to avoid infections.

Because this is a small-sized dog, the teeth will be also much smaller. With this comes the tartar, if the tartar layer thickens, it could be possible the inflammation of the gums and the instability of the tooth as a consequence. To keep and maintain the dog’s denture clean, a toothbrush should be used. In more extreme cases when the tartar layer is too thick, seeking the advice of your veterinarian would be the best thing to do.

Another very important thing you can’t forget is the ears. These too will require of special care. The problem here will be the hairs and the accumulation of wax it comes with it, in the surface of the auditive pavilion. This can make annoying and unhygienic knots. It’ll only take the gentle removal of the knots to avoid further infections.

The nails and the hair between the fingers should be taking care of periodically to avoid difficulties when your dog walks. It will also help to maintain the paws cleaner.

A daily sprucing up of the hair is essential, especially when your Maltese is a long-haired one. With a soft hairbrush or a comb, we can maintain the silky and lustrous hair of our dog.
