How to raise a Maltese? What does a Maltese eat? What to pay attention to? The following small beans for you to share the Maltese breeding methods and precautions.

Maltese breeding methods and precautions:

1、Canned food

The juicy, meaty, fluffy canned food has different flavors and bites that can boost a dog’s appetite. However, it is high in protein and usually increases calorie and carbohydrate intake when mixed with dry dog food. And it loses its fresh flavor some time after opening.

2. Dried meat patties

Crispy dry meatloaf added to canned food fed to dogs not only has a bite added fiber, fat, and enhanced palate movement.

3、Dry dog food

Completely dry dog food is nutritionally balanced and facilitates bulk storage. Because it contains four times the calories of canned food, be careful not to oversize portions when feeding. There are also several types of dry dog food:

Highly nutritious: Suitable for growing German Shepherd puppies, but be careful to choose one that is easy to digest.

Regular: for adult dogs, nutrition and calories have been calculated based on activity level.

Low calorie type: suitable for old dogs, obese or insufficient exercise dogs, a low calorie diet food.

For grinding teeth: a large, crumbling crunchy dry food that stabilizes gums and removes tartar.

4. Semi-raw food

This food is a cheese-like food with three times the calories of canned food. However, it is high in carbohydrates and is not loved by diabetic dogs. Like dry dog food, leaving it out for a day won’t have an effect on its flavor, and it can be fed in small quantities to gluttons and older dogs, depending on how much exercise they get.

5. Bite Gum

This is a bone-like gelatin made from compressed cow bone meal. Dogs need to grind their teeth often, but the gum is too small to be swallowed in one gulp, the chicken bone is thin and brittle and can easily injure the mouth and intestines, and the large cow bone is too hard and may break the teeth, so this is a very suitable food.

6. Family food

A nutritionally balanced and rich meal for humans is not necessarily nutritionally balanced for dogs. Feeding dogs leftovers from the table can develop a bad habit of begging for food. So at home we can make some canine food, chicken pieces mixed with rice or noodles, is a very suitable food. Chicken is easy to digest and has a lower calorie count compared to beef and pork, but remember not to put spices. The amount of rice or noodles should be such that it can be consumed in one sitting. Sesame seeds, shellfish and foods containing too much salt, vegetable soup, etc. should not be fed.

The most unique thing about the Maltese should be the flowing and slender coat. The pony’s coat is soft and glossy, so of course to keep it clean and silky daily care such as grooming cannot be avoided. Think about what your hair would look like if you didn’t brush and wash it for a long time. So, to keep your pony beautiful and dashing, daily care is a must.

Maltese are small in body, but definitely belong to the exercise-loving school. They love to move, and they will also keep moving, walking and jumping at home, of course, if they can come to the outdoors, then the ponies are naturally very happy. At the same time, exercise is also very beneficial to the health of the pony, promote blood circulation, enhance physical fitness and so on, these are parents know very well. Therefore, to properly raise Maltese, parents should also walk the dog in their spare time, and take it to the outdoors to exercise more often.

deworming

There is no rule for deworming drugs and time, the most commonly used drug is levamisole, which is usually dewormed once after 20 days of puppy’s birth, then for three days in a row in 30-35 days, and then once again before 60 days. At present, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Hong Kong often adopt the following deworming protocol: the first deworming is carried out 2 weeks after birth, and deworming is carried out every 2 weeks from 2 to 8 weeks of age; deworming is carried out once a month from 2 to 6 months of age; deworming is carried out once every three months after 6 months of age. For dogs at 6 months of age who are not sure whether to be dewormed or not, the deworming should generally be repeated after the first deworming, and then every three months thereafter.

Adult dogs every three months deworming, depending on the situation can be appropriate to lengthen the interval, deworming roundworms, such as levamisole, deworming tapeworms to use arsenic quinolone, trichomoniasis with metronidazole, different parasites should be used to choose different deworming medication, in general, if the parasites are more, the feces from the dog can be seen in the type of certain parasites, but trichomoniasis, coccidia need to be determined by microscope laboratory, so deworming must be The right medication should be given to the right person.

vaccinations

Immunization of puppies is critical and is usually done at 28 days of age with a puppy diphtheria or at 45-60 days of age with the first multiplex vaccination, followed by the second and third multiplex vaccination every 25-30 days thereafter. The other way is to do the first multiplex vaccination on the 50th-60th day of life, the second multiplex vaccination on the 80th-90th day, and the third multiplex vaccination at the sixth month. Vaccination should not be done too early, otherwise it will interfere with the immunity of the mother that the puppy carries (except for the Duplex for puppies), and two vaccinations at an interval of less than 15 days will cause the puppy to accumulate too many viruses in the body and lead to serious consequences. Adult dogs should be immunized once a year, or once every six months for kennels with high breeding density.
