Blow Drying

You should always blow dry your Maltese following its bath. For best results you might consider a stand dryer which sits on a table. This way you will have both hands free and will make the drying process much easier for you and much safer for your Maltese.

Use only the medium heat setting of your dryer. Never use the high heat as it could ruin the coat by causing it to break more readily. When drying the coat, do one section at a time thoroughly before moving on to another.

Its best to use a slicker brush on the lower part of the legs and the feet.

Brushing needs can vary considerably depending upon length of the hair, as well as your dogs behavior and environment.

The most important time to brush your Maltese is after his/her bath, when the coat is just damp out of the towel. Snarls are most likely to give up to the brush when they are washed, rinsed with conditioner and not yet dry.

After a bath, always brush and comb the dogs head and feet when he is towel-wrapped to do his ears, eyes, teeth and toenails. The face should be done last using a metallic comb (small).
