【Beauty Guide】Maltese Dog Grooming Care
First, comb through the coat before grooming
The Maltese dog's (detailed introduction) coat is long and smooth, requiring regular care. If the coat is not combed and trimmed for a long time, it is easy to get tangled or collect dust from the ground due to its length. Additionally, the long coat easily covers the dog's eyes, greatly affecting their walking. Therefore, frequent grooming of the Maltese dog is necessary.

3. Operating Steps:
1. First, comb the dog's coat thoroughly. If the coat is tangled, use a detangler to untangle it, then use a pin brush to remove stray hairs, and finally use a slicker brush to tidy the coat. If static electricity is generated due to dryness of the coat, spray some water appropriately to help eliminate static.
2. After loosening the coat, you can start trimming. The hair under the eyes can be trimmed by half, and the hair on the bridge of the nose should be combed outwards from the centerline and tidied.
3. The hair on the back should also be combed outwards along the midline of the back. The tail’s hair can be parted left and right; lift the tail, clean around the anus, and trim appropriately.
Regular combing makes grooming easier
4. The fur around the feet can be trimmed into a rounded shape along sharper edges, and the sole hair must be cleaned. The hair at the tips of the toes should also be carefully cleaned.
5. After grooming other parts, comb the hair on the head, then wrap the head hair with hair wrap paper. This is to prevent the long hair from affecting the dog’s eyes and causing discomfort. For specific wrapping methods, refer to http://www.boqii.com/article/23313.html. Other parts can also be wrapped appropriately.
4. Tips:
1. To prevent coat tangling, it is very necessary to regularly comb the dog's coat.
2. For the dog's health, the sole hair, ear hair, and hair around the anus must be properly cleaned. The dog’s odor may come from these uncleaned areas.
3. It is best not to keep the Maltese dog’s hair too long. Although some long-haired Maltese look very noble, if not carefully groomed, it will become a burden to the dog and greatly affect its movements.
