What every Maltese puppy comes with
Every Maltese we place is a purebred toy companion with the breed's signaturepure white, silky single coat. Before any puppy is listed as available, it has had its vaccinations on the weeks 6, 8 and 12 schedule (those due before go-home), been dewormed, microchippedand passed a vet health check. You receive the health booklet and microchip number at handover, so nothing about your puppy's healthy start is taken on trust.
Included in the all-in price ($3,488–$5,988)
- Vaccinations to date, deworming, microchip and vet health check
- Starter kit: food sample, essentials and a written care guide
- Free islandwide home delivery with playpen setup
- One training lesson to start toilet training right
- Dog licence completed for you (required for every dog in Singapore)
- Free boarding for up to a month after your deposit
- 5-day bring-back-if-sick promise
The price band reflects age, coat and structure, never invented tiers like "teacup". For what drives a Maltese up or down the range, and how imports compare, see thefull Maltese price breakdown.
How we raise them before you meet them
Most listings in singapore show photos and a WhatsApp button and nothing else, so here is what actually happens before a puppy reaches our gallery. Each litterstays with its mother through weaning, moving onto solid food from around week 5 to 6. From there we handle the puppies daily, on purpose: different people, gentle carrying, normal household noise. That early socialisation is why our Maltese settle intohdb flats and condos as the gentle, people-oriented lapdogs the breed standard describes (see theAKC Maltese breed standard).
We also start the habits you will continue at home: brushing tolerance for the white coat and a gentle face-wipe so the daily routine for tear stains is familiar before go-home day. And we hold to week 9. A puppy taken home too early misses bite-inhibition lessons from its littermates, so we do not release earlier no matter how keen a buyer is. With 50+ Maltese placed, that patience has never once been the wrong call.
Go-home checklist by week
Use this timeline to judge any shop, not just ours. If a seller offers a Maltese at 6 or 7 weeks, walk away.
| Age | What should already be done |
|---|---|
| Week 6 | First vaccination at the vet; still with mum and littermates, starting solid food. |
| Week 8 | Second vaccination; fully weaned onto kibble, confident on its own four paws. |
| Week 9 | Typical go-home week: vet health check done, microchipped, eating well, ready to bond. |
| Week 12 | Third vaccination (we guide you on timing if the puppy is already home with you). |
| Week 16 | Optional fourth jab some vets recommend; then an annual booster from Year 1. |
What happens at a viewing
Never bought from a shop before? A viewing with us runs like this. First, message us on whatsapp so we can confirm which puppies are in and send current photos and videos; you can also walk in at 2 Balestier Road #01-701, Singapore 320002(Weekdays 12pm–6pm · Weekends 10am–6pm). At the shop you meet the puppies out of the pen, carry them, and watch them move and play for as long as you need. There is no deposit required to view and no hard sell; a Maltese is a 12-to-15-year commitment and we would rather you take your time than buyon impulse.
What to check while you are here: clear eyes, clean ears, a white coat with no flaking, a steady appetite and a puppy that is curious rather than flat or fearful. Ask to see the vaccination card and microchip record. We show these unprompted, and any good seller should.
One honest note on colour: we place pure white only. Puppy coats can carry faint lemon or tan shading around the ears that usually fades by adulthood, and we will point it out to you at the viewing rather than let you discover it later. What we will not do is sell a "teacup" Maltese. The breed comes in one toy size, roughly 2 to 4kg full-grown, and anything marketed smaller is a health risk dressed up as a premium.
Choosing your puppy: male or female, calm or playful
In this breed, individual temperament matters far more than gender. Both make equally devoted companions once sterilised, so meet both if you can and pick the personality that fits your home: the bolder explorer or the quiet cuddler. Our take on the differences is inmale vs female Maltese, and the honest picture of the breed's velcro, lower-energy character is on theMaltese temperament page. Whichever you choose, budget for real grooming: daily brushing and a salon visit every 4 to 6 weeks keep the coat white, whether you go long or keep a practical puppy cut.
Reserving and bringing your Maltese home
Found the one? A reservation works simply: a deposit holds your chosen puppy, and we reserve it under your name with free boarding for up to a month, useful if you are travelling or puppy-proofing first. The balance is settled on collection or delivery, when we set up the playpen and walk you through feeding, and thefirst week home guide takes over from there.
HDB note: the Maltese is named on HDB's approved small-breed list (item 33), so this is a clean yes for flats, one dog per flat, licence required. Official rules are onHDB's pet page; our plain-English summary is at HDB approval details. We complete the licence paperwork for you at purchase.
Why buyers choose a licensed specialist
We are an avs licensed pet shop, licence AS24J00046, which you can verify yourself on NParks'public registry of AVS licensed pet shops. Buyers rate Curious Tails 5.0 across 41 Google reviews, and we stand behind parentage, papers and health screening with permitted, verifiable records rather than marketing labels. If you are weighing us against a private seller or an import listing, ask both for the same three things we show every buyer: the vaccination card, the microchip record and the licence number.
