Since the Maltese has a very snow-white coat, some very clean parents go out and bathe their Maltese on a regular basis, but this is actually the wrong way to go, and frequent bathing is wrong no matter what breed of dog it is, and no matter what color their coat is.

The main reason is that too frequent bathing will destroy the protective layer of oil on the skin of the Maltese dog, making the Maltese dog’s skin become dry and prone to external stimuli and some skin diseases. So how often should a Maltese take a bath to be more appropriate?

Bathing this thing can be divided according to the season, first of all, we are now on this hotter weather, because the weather is hotter, so the oil secretion of the Maltese will also be more exuberant, the skin and hair on the body is also easier to dirty, so bathing can be carried out one to two times a week, so it will not be too frequent, but also be able to help Maltese dogs to do cleaning in a timely manner.

As for cooler or colder times, the oil production on the Maltese is not as high, so a longer period of time without bathing will not be dirty, then the bathing schedule can be changed to once a week, or once every two weeks if the weather is even colder.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the temperature of the bath water, even if it is summer, you can not use cool water to Maltese dogs bathing, secondly, the bathing products used in the bath must be special for pets, you can not use human beings, because the acidity and alkalinity are not the same, and finally to the Maltese full bath after the hair must be blown dry on all of them, so that you can not only avoid catching a cold, and at the same time can also avoid the bacteria to breed, go to the influence of the This will not only prevent them from getting cold, but will also prevent bacteria from growing and affecting the health of their fur.
