YES! Maltese are friendly with cats. It's best to introduce them early on in my humble opinion. They should have no problems playing with the kitty in your family.
Are Maltese apartment friendly?
YES! Maltese are the perfect apartment dogs. They don't need a lot of space. They do enjoy going on walks and need daily exercise as we all do. However, playing a game of fetch indoors when the weather is not so nice will do the job. They adapt well to apartment living.

If you want to minimize the maintenance on your Maltese it's pretty simple. Keep them in a puppy cut or a Korean cut. Both are MUCH less maintenance than a show coat. Show coats are for people who have time for DAILY grooming. If you choose a "wash and wear" style, you only need a weekly touch up in between trips to the groomer.

NO! Maltese have no undercoat so their tolerance to cold is minimal. Maltese require a lot of protection and care from their owners. Sweaters, coats, and warmers are a must have if you live where it gets cold or even cool. Maltese are NOT outside dogs.
What is the lifespan of Maltese?
Maltese life span average is 12-15 years. With proper care, nutrition, protection and exercise, they will remain healthy and could live longer than the average lifespan.
Why do you offer to extend your Health Guarantee if I continue to feed pawTree ?
I've been searching for a quality dog food for YEARS. I've spend thousands and thousands of dollars trying this dog food and that dog food and I'm not talking about grocery store dog food, although that's where I started. I'm talking about "top shelf" dog food. I've bought Royal Canin, Science Diet, Taste of the Wild, American Journey, Blue Buffalo, Just Food For Dogs, Diamond, Fromm, etc,. Every single one of those and more had negative side effects, itchy skin, chewing on their paws, too much poo, diarrhea, upset tummy, ear issues and so many more. Then, I came across pawTree. This is what I've been searching for! All natural! No by-products, no corn, no wheat, no soy, no aritificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. I read the ingredients and knew I had found the end of the rainbow bag of gold... So simple, so clean. I only wish I had found this food much earlier in my journey. My dogs have ALL flourished on this food, shampoo, supplements, spice additives and natural medicine.. No more negative side effects from the food I feed them. No costly vet visits. I now have NATURAL treatments for any ailments my pups develop. No crazy expensive medicine that can only be prescribed after a vet visit. I'm so very happy to use and recommend pawTree to all my buyers.
