MALTESE FACTS !
A Maltese dog is a "long-term" committment
Some are known to have lived as long as 20+ years !
They are VERY people oriented
loving,loyal, intelligent
They do travel well after getting over
the initial car-sickness !
Think in terms of adding a "baby/toddler"
to your household!
generally they do NOT do well if left alone for long periods
are locked in a cage ,or window-less room
imagine yourself in one of those ?
I would NOT recommend you get one
if you have a busy lifestyle
or work all the time, it's simply NOT fair!
They need regular feeding/watering,grooming
love & attention!
maltese2000@yahoo.com
My dogs are my hobby,my love and passion !
I have been "owned" by Maltese's for 20 years!
and currently own 15 of them
ranging in age from almost 6 to 14 1/2 years
The Maltese is not guaranteed to be
hypo-allergenic,
they will shed, but minimally, compared to other breeds
therefore, less dander in the air
Their soft,silky,white "hair", needs daily brushing and regular bathing
I recommend a bath every other
week
please use only doggy shampoo
Oatmeal,Tee-Tree,medicated, Tearless Nova Pearls
Should you ever have a flea problem
I've found that dishwashing "Joy" works fine, it's the "lemon" in it !
They are pampered pets indeed, the perfect companion dog
for ladies of almost any age !
( NO puppies for very young or elderly)
maltese2000@yahoo.com
Young PUPPIES are NOT
recommended for small children
as children can do some pretty awful things to a puppy
besides accidentially falling on it and killing it!
Puppies should be a minimum of 10-12 weeks old
have received at least 2 vaccinations
before taking them home or introducing them
to other dogs or public places
......
FOODS TO FEED
Always have fresh water available, change frequently
I prefer to use stainless steel bowls
you may want to take a bottle along
if you take the doggie on a trip with you
Feed a high quality or premium foods
puppy formula for puppies til 12- 18 month
then feed maintenance til @ age 6
after 6 years feed "senior" formula
if overweight ,feed
a higher fiber diet, may need prescription
12-18% roughage
FIT & TRIM is fine, but NOT for puppies
For dogs with Food Allergies, feed
Venison & Rice (Nature's Recipe)Fish & Sweet Potato or Duck if you can find it.
Salmon or Tuna from can o.k., but need more vitamins or vegetables.
My dogs love lettuce with a little sprinkle of olive oil!
in lieu of baked treats!
Turkey & Barley,Lamb & Rice are great too!
stay away form grocery brands, especially the ones
starting out with
"CORN or SOY"
as the first ingridient
Dogs are carnivoures, not
herbevoures
I think it's o.k to give them left-over meats and veggies
as long as you mix it in with their regular food
I will feed mine cooked, ground fresh Turkey,chicken or Hamburger
(drained & rinsed off fat)
I also feed a good amount of veggies
raw or cooked carrot sticks,broccoli, lettuce of any kind
watermelon, apples, bananas, eggs
limit the feeding of cheese
ABSOLUTELY NO PORK or BACON
or fatty left-overs
can cause pancreatitis and will cost you a small fortune
at the *ER*
NO chic bones or grizzle (steak or chicken)
fresh meat bones are O.K.cut into 1 inch pieces ,by butcher,
and boiled inluding the marrow are GREAT !
Take it easy on milk bone treats
it's like giving kids a lot of cookies or junk foods
NO hotdogs or Bologna, milk
NO..NO...NO "CHOCOLATE", POP CORN, PEANUTS or BIRDSEED
a dog can choke to death on those, and choclolate is very deadly
Don't waste your money to clear up Tear-stain around the eyes!
Just gently wash face every day with fresh
warm water and then blot dry with toilet tissue
NOTHING else!
It's nothing but tears mixed with air, or allergies (seasonal) it will come and go.
VERY IMPORTANT
NEVER..NEVER
let your Maltese
or any other critter be blown dry
in a cage!
Groomers have lost many doggies
to heart attacks and
HEAT STROKES because they forget the critter is in the cage
NEVER..NEVER
let your Vet administer
"Leptospirosis" to a maltese
and take it very easy on administering Steroids/Prednisone
for any kind of skin or fungus condition!
or administer more than "one vaccine" at a time
Rabies vaccines
should always be given separate
Rabies not until @ 1 year !!
It is best to schedule vaccine apointments in the
MORNINGS
so that if you have a problem
you can go back to the Vet
and NOT the
Emergency Clinic
Always have on hand:
Children's Benedryl liquid
for allergic reactions ! NEVER give TYLENOL
only baby aspirin or buffered aspirin in samll dosage
as it can cause stomach bleeding; childrens Cough syrup o.k to give
just need to scale down the dose and make sure
contains NO ALCOHOL
For skin problems or fungus
give COLLOIDAL SILVER, orally or topically
you can get it in the Health Food store
or make it yourself by buying a silver maker
search the net!
Cost @ $ 17 for 2 oz
make sure it's NOT more than 30 days old!!
it loses strenght after 30 days
Colloidal Silver
is reported to kill as many as 650 micro organisms
many of which cause human disease
it can be used on skin, oral, eyes, ears....etc.
Vet's hate for you to know about it
and will claim that it makes the dogs
teeth black.....
NOT TRUE !
Also try Oil of Oregano
leave your dog in the car
especially not during the hot season
NOT even when you leave the A/C running....
BECAUSE:
over 90 degree you can't TRUST
your cars to keep running
while idling...BATTERIES do die
and so will the dog !
If you have an overheated dog
do NOT dowse with cold water
as that will put the dog into shock
but dowse with
RUBBING ALCOHOL ONLY
and turn on a high powered fan, blowing directly on the dog
Some of the Bloodlines in my line include:
Joann Chen's Dancer's, Windsong Master Showcase
Rustwick's Dorbet & Zackly Right
Simone's Christmas Angel,Villa Malta, La Laces Lorac Dream
These are just a few *

.............
.................
by NOT supporting them !
Most puppies in pet-shops were bred by irresponsible "artless" backyard-breeders
for the dollar
bred in filthy abominable places;
most people don't realize, that the highest priced puppies in Pet-shops
come actually from the "worst" places,
they also sell under-aged puppies (less than 10-12 weeks old)
BEWARE of KILLER PARVO VIRUS
Get a pup that is at least 10-12 weeks old, and
keep in mind, that they are
NOT fully protected til @ 16 weeks ( 4 shots)
we agree !
maltese2000@yahoo.com
Lastly...PLEASE..
get your females spayed..
if you don't, you could
lose her..as I did my precious Katie!
who wound up with a diseased uterus, never bred....when you find out that your dog is sick
It will be TOO LATE !
