The longer the hair of your Maltese, the more time you will spend on grooming. A puppy cut is the shortest cut and requires the least amount of maintenance. Long and medium length hair is more prone to knots and tangles.








Puppy cuts are also best if your dog has a more cottony texture as opposed to a silky texture.
Use dog clippers or scissors to cut the hair.
If you do not want to cut your dog's hair yourself, take it to a professional groomer for a cut.
The frequency of hair cutting will depend on how fast your dog's hair grows.
