Buying a Maltese
Buying a Maltese is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
Are Maltese good family dogs and how do they behave around children?
They are generally affectionate, people oriented companion dogs that often bond closely to their family. They can live with respectful, gentle children but their small, fragile body means they are easily injured by rough play, so supervision and clear rules are essential.
How much grooming does a Maltese really need and can they keep a long show coat as a pet?
The long, silky coat tangles quickly and needs daily brushing plus regular baths to stay clean and comfortable. Many pet owners choose a shorter “puppy cut” to reduce maintenance, as keeping a full show coat in good condition is time consuming and requires very consistent care.
Do Maltese shed and are they a good choice for people with allergies?
They shed very little and have hair rather than typical dog fur, which often makes them more tolerable for some allergy sufferers. However no dog is completely hypoallergenic, so spending time with the breed before committing is important for anyone with significant allergies.
What health problems are Maltese most prone to?
Common concerns include dental disease, luxating patellas, collapsed trachea, and eye issues such as tear staining and dry eye. Some lines are also predisposed to liver shunts and heart problems, so responsible breeding and regular veterinary checkups are important throughout their life.
How much exercise does a Maltese need and is a daily walk enough?
They are a small companion breed with moderate energy that usually does well with a couple of short walks and indoor play each day. Mental stimulation and time with their owner are just as important as physical activity, and they do not require intense or prolonged exercise sessions.
Can a Maltese be left alone during the workday or do they get separation anxiety?
They often form very strong attachments and can be prone to separation anxiety if left alone for long periods on a regular basis. Gradual training, enrichment toys, and arranging for midday company or breaks can help, but this breed generally suits households where someone is home more often.
Are Maltese easy to house train compared to other small dogs?
House training can take longer than with some larger breeds, partly because of their tiny bladder and sensitivity to weather. Consistent schedules, frequent outdoor trips, and positive reinforcement are key, and some owners successfully use indoor potty pads as part of their routine.
Why do some Maltese have heavy tear staining and can it be reduced?
Reddish-brown staining under the eyes is common and can be related to eye shape, shallow tear ducts, allergies, or low-grade irritation. Gentle daily cleaning, keeping facial hair trimmed, addressing allergies, and veterinary evaluation for underlying issues often help reduce but may not eliminate staining.
Is a Maltese a good choice for apartment living or first-time owners?
Their small size, modest exercise needs, and typically quiet indoors demeanor make them well suited to apartments. They can be a good option for first-time owners who are prepared to handle significant grooming, gentle training, and the social needs of a very people-focused dog.
How cold tolerant are Maltese and do they need special care in winter?
With a single, fine coat and low body weight, they tend to feel the cold quickly and can become chilled outdoors. Short walks in very cold weather, warm indoor bedding, and a well-fitting coat or sweater outside help keep them comfortable and safe.
