If you have a garden, even a small one, this will be great for your new pet as it needs a reasonable amount of daily exercise. If you live in an apartment check out the closest dog parks in your area and take your Maltese for regular walks.
Maltese are highly intelligent and trainable so look out for a dog school in your area if you are considering bringing a Maltese into your life.
General Health Considerations
Maltese is a breed that may be prone to health issues, so ask the breeder about the health of the puppy’s parents as a precautionary measure.
If you are inclined to spoil your pet with treats often you may cause your Maltese to gain excessive weight. Your Maltese will thrive with a balanced diet, regular exercise and limited treats.
Caring for your Maltese
Malteses shed a fair amount of hair and regular grooming is highly recommended. Invest in a good brush and bath your dog on a regular basis or get them to a good grooming parlour. A well-groomed Maltese is an attention-grabber, for sure!
