Certain grooming tips apply to a variety of dog breeds, but most dogs have certain specific issues requiring more attention than others.  The Maltese is a small, spirited breed first developed in Italy. They make great pets for mature and senior pet owners, people with allergies, and city-dwellers as they are happily active within a house, and actually prefer enclosed spaces.   However, part of being a good dog owner is making sure that your dog is well groomed, and Maltese dogs require a little bit of extra care in that department.  Proper grooming is not only important for aesthetic reasons; a well groomed clean coat is an important aspect of your dog’s health and quality of life.
