 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.

You wouldn’t go more than a couple days without brushing your hair, would you? Neither should your pet! Regular brushing is extremely important for both dogs and cats. Not only will it keep their coats in nice condition, it also helps to prevent mats and tangles keeping their skin free from irritation and protecting against infection. This is because matted fur can become a breeding ground for bacteria, holding moisture close to the skin, especially in the case of dogs and cats exposed to the outdoor elements. During brushing is also a great time to check for fleas and ticks, and warts that grow on the skin and hide under fur.

 Dental disease in dogs has the potential to become life-threatening. Just as in the human mouth, plaque starts with bacteria. A protein film forms on the clean tooth. This protein layer attracts bacteria. Soon, more bacteria stick, forming plaque. Within days the plaque thickens and hardens, underlying bacteria run out of oxygen and anaerobic motile rods and spirochetes begin to populate the area under the gums. Endotoxins released by the anaerobic bacteria cause tissue destruction and bone loss. This gives way to infection, which leaches pus slowly into the dog’s system attacking vital organs like the heart, kidneys, liver, and even the brain. The good news is that owners can prevent this. These dental care tips for dogs will help prevent dental disease and its complications:
