Pure white, long, and dead-straight, the Maltese coat is a single silky coat with no undercoat that mats readily behind the ears and in the leg creases. Tear staining around the eyes needs regular cleaning, and the hair is tied into a topknot or trimmed off the face. Most pets are kept in a puppy cut.

How long does it take to groom a Maltese?

How much does Maltese grooming cost?
A Maltese full groom is around $50 on the default FurSlot matrix. Your real price depends on coat condition, matting, and local rates, which is exactly why FurSlot lets you set the number per breed.
Why price Maltese grooming by breed?
Because a Maltese is not a generic dog. Time and price should reflect its size and coat, not a flat rate. FurSlot ships every breed preloaded so your booking page quotes the right number before the client finishes typing.
How often does a Maltese need grooming?
A Maltese has a long silky single coat with high matting risk and minimal shedding, so a professional groom every 4-6 weeks keeps the coat healthy and comfortable.
