Care guides
Maltese care guides
This is our curated maltese care library for singapore owners: 18 first-hand guides across five categories, covering grooming and tear stains on the white coat, training in an hdb flat, health and food, temperament and barking, plus buying decisions like cost and adoption. Everything is written from what we actually do with every puppy in our licensed shop.
Browse by category below: Grooming, Training, Health, Lifestyle and Buying. New to the breed? Start with the tear-stain guide, then cost of ownership.
Grooming
The white coat is the signature and the workload. Tear stains, daily brushing, the puppy cut and the top knot, explained the way our groomers actually do them.
Training
Gentle, people-oriented dogs train well with patience and routine. Potty training in a flat, barking, puppy biting and the velcro-dog side of the temperament.
Health
What actually matters for a small white dog in the tropics: allergy-friendly coats, sensible food choices and staying comfortable in Singapore heat.
Lifestyle
Life with a Maltese at home: settling a new puppy, adding a second dog, and a little breed culture along the way.
Buying
Honest numbers and honest choices before you commit: lifetime cost, male versus female, and whether adoption suits your home better than buying.
