Maltese

The Maltese is one of the oldest companion breeds of the Mediterranean region. As early as antiquity, it was valued in harbor towns both as a skilled mouser and as a charming lapdog of the upper classes. Today, it is especially loved as a cheerful, affectionate family companion.
This small dog with its floor-length white coat may be petite, but it carries plenty of spirit and energy. Regular grooming is essential, as is mental stimulation. The Maltese thrives on closeness, play, and activity – and feels at home wherever it is included as part of the family.
For restorative sleep and a sense of security, an orthopaedic dog basket with a soft fleece cushion is ideal – perfect for small dogs, fully machine washable at 95 °C.
Alternatively, Doctor Bark offers ergonomically designed dog beds for smaller breeds – available as Green Label (washable at 60 °C) or Red Label (orthopaedic, washable at 95 °C).
When out and about – whether in a café, restaurant, or visiting friends – a travel blanket is especially practical. The compact, rollable mat creates a familiar resting place wherever you go.
For maximum mobility and safety, the dog carrier bag is recommended – featuring a padded interior and shoulder strap, washable at 95 °C, durable and comfortable.
