Healthy Foods for Maltese Dogs

• The Maltese, a popular toy dog breed, should be fed a diet designed for small dogs.

  The Maltese, a popular show dog, is an ancient, European toy breed. Though the exact origins of the Maltese dog's lineage are debatable, the statuesque appearance of this tiny, white dog, undoubtedly qualifies it as the "aristocrat of the canine world." Docile, yet playful, the Maltese is a very hardy dog. The Maltese is relatively free from genetic health disorders, but it is important to feed it a nutritionally balanced diet in order to maintain optimum health and well-being.
