Maltese

It is nice, intelligent, very affectionate, and stands out for its lively and happy character. The Maltese Bichon loves games and cuddles; it likes delicacy, being the center of attention, traveling, and discovering new places. Despite its small size, it has a robust, strong, brave, and daring body. It quickly connects with its owners, guessing their emotions, and is very easy to train because it loves to play.

Although it does not need extreme exercise, it does require a good daily walk. In addition, to keep its spectacular white, straight, and silky coat free of knots, it needs almost daily brushing. For its care, we recommend our organic and natural cosmetic line for Maltese Bichons at tQel, ideal for protecting its sensitive skin and periodically cleaning its tear ducts to prevent stains and infections.

What is the origin of the Maltese Bichon?

Originally from Greece, Rome, and Egypt, this breed owes its name to the Semitic word "màlat," which means refuge or port. It has deep Mediterranean roots and was primarily bred in ancient times to keep ports free of mice and small rodents.

Due to its appearance similar to a plush or cotton ball and its incredible natural elegance, it definitively became popular in the 19th century as the favorite pet of the bourgeois class and European aristocracy.

Essentials for your Maltese Bichon

At tQel, we know your Maltese Bichon deserves the best. That's why we've designed a range of specific products that perfectly adapt to their compact physique and the needs of their delicate coat. Discover how to improve their walks and daily well-being with exclusive handmade accessories.

Raincoats and waterproofs for rainy weather

Almost no small dog likes to get wet, and the Maltese Bichon is no exception. To prevent their silky white hair from getting soaked and suffering from tangles or the classic damp smell, our raincoats for Maltese Bichons are the perfect solution.

They are made with light, waterproof, and highly breathable fabrics. With them, walks on gray days will no longer be a problem, and your pet will return home completely dry and protected from the wind.

Stylish and secure collars and leashes

The leash is the best way to train your dog and is the ideal tool to forge an unbreakable bond between you two on every outing. In our online store, you can choose from a wide range of vegetable leather leashes and collars for your Maltese Bichon.

They are handmade by Spanish artisans with high-resistance hardware, allowing you to walk through the city with impeccable style, optimal control, and maximum escape-proof security.

Coats to protect their delicate skin

Although the Maltese Bichon has long, beautiful hair, it lacks an undercoat and its skin is delicate and pinkish, making it highly susceptible to sudden changes in temperature. It is essential to protect them from both intense cold in winter and solar rays in mid-season.
