Man's best friend comes in all shapes and sizes from massive Great Danes to microscopic Teacup Chihuahuas. It pays to be educated about the breed of dog you're considering. Here are some things to take into account about the Maltese. The Maltese is a member of the toy class, usually weighing between three and 10 pounds. Its most prominent characteristic is its long, flowing white hair with no undercoat. Because the Maltese don't have fur like other breeds, it will lose hair the way humans do instead of shedding like most dogs. Perhaps the most interesting and unique characteristic of the breed is its color-changing nose. The nose can change from coal black to a light brownish color or even pink depending on the amount of sunlight the animal is exposed to. The nose of a female Maltese may change color when she goes onto heat.Because Maltese don't shed if properly and regularly groomed, they make good pets for people who suffer with allergies. The breed's temperament lends itself to companionship. The Maltese is happiest when in the company of family and friends being lavished with affection. Like most small breeds, they are energetic and given to sudden bouts of activity, but their...more

Hiring a dog walker is one of the best ways to make sure a dog gets adequate exercise. We all know what happens when a dog does not get walked often enough. Here are some reasons why more people should hire someone to come and walk the dog. These are just a few reasons. There are many others. First, the obvious reason is dogs need more exercise. Most owners do not have the time or the energy to provide enough dog walking for their dogs. If someone does not have an extra 30 minutes to spare in his or her day, then hiring someone else to walk the dog is a good investment. Paying for a dog walker is cheaper than buying new furniture after the bored dog destroys everything. Another reason to look into a professional dog walking service is most dogs get bored during the day when left home alone with no exercise. Paying for an extra walk once or twice a week or even daily is one of the nicest things an owner can do for his or her dog. Dogs become destructive when left alone for too long. They can develop bad habits such as going to the bathroom in the house, chewing furniture or barking for hours on end. Other dogs will scratch at the door, shred pillows or howl. Some people do not want...more
