The Maltese: Elegant, Gentle, and Completely Devoted
The Maltese is one of the oldest toy breeds in the world—and one of the most elegant. With their flowing white coat and gentle temperament, they thrive on human connection. Their delicate frame and stunning coat mean gear choice matters more than most owners realize.
About the Maltese
Typical weight: 4–7 lbs
Energy level: Moderate — They enjoy daily walks but aren't high-endurance dogs.
Coat: Long, silky, pure white single-layer coat. Stunning, but offers almost no insulation.

A Tasty Topping: Made with goat's milk & beef broth. Sprinkle on your pup's daily meal for an extra dash of yummy goodness.
What Your Maltese Needs
Featherlight Harness: Maltese are fine-boned; heavy gear is uncomfortable. Look for soft mesh or thin nylon.
Coat Protection: Rough materials can mat or even discolor white fur. Smooth linings are essential.
Cool Weather Layers: Without an undercoat, they feel the cold quickly. A fleece for anything under 55°F is a good rule.
