Depending on the coat cut the Maltese is sporting, daily to occasional brushing is required to keep the glow of the coat. But let’s look into more hygienic things that should be done when caring for the Maltese. Maltese have drop ears which can make them prone to ear and yeast infections due to the buildup of moisture. The hairs in the ears will have to be plucked on a monthly basis to prevent this problem.

Brushing of the teeth is also needed to remove plague that may cause gum irritation. It was noted that toy dogs have more plague due to their lack of chewing or biting.
