Maltese Grooming
Taking good care of your Maltese’s coat is essential for maintaining their beauty and health. Regular brushing (at least once per week) will help keep their fur free from dirt, mats, and tangles. Additionally, regular baths are recommended to ensure that your Maltese’s coat remains in a healthy state, as well as frequent trimmings to keep them looking neat. Keeping the nails trimmed can also be beneficial in ensuring they keep feeling comfortable while walking or running around.

Maltese hair is silk, not wool. It mats at the armpits and chest when it stays damp. Wash-day rhythm matters more than a heavy clip. A puppy cut is a length choice, not a different coat type.
