The Maltese has a long, silky coat that sheds little to no hair, making it a good choice for people prone to allergies. The coat must be brushed daily, but gently so as it is very soft. In addition, the eyes, ears and beard should be cleaned regularly. Baths and dry shampoos can be given regularly, but it is important that this dog is thoroughly dried and warmed afterwards. Some owners choose to have the hair trimmed to lower the grooming maintenance, and the hair on top of the head is often tied up to keep it out of the eyes. Find a pet grooming center near you.
