A Maltese Smiles Sweetly Beside a Bag That Has Seen Better Days

AI imagemaltesetreatsliving room

Lying flat on the wooden floor with a soft, sweet smile, the fluffy white Maltese looks like the picture of innocence. Beside her, a paper bag has been ripped open, and a spill of small brown treats lies scattered across the floor in a trail. Her dark eyes and little black nose peek through a wispy fringe of white fur, and her tongue is just barely showing. In the background, a gray sofa with a green throw, a wicker basket, and a pair of slippers fill a bright, cozy living room.

Maltese dogs are small, gentle companions with silky white coats and big personalities. They love being close to their people, and they can be surprisingly clever when it comes to finding snacks. Treats made for other pets, like cat treats, are not designed for dogs and can be too rich, so it is better to keep every pet's treats in a sealed container out of reach. Small dogs can get upset stomachs more easily than large ones, and a few extra treats can add up quickly, so ask your vet about portion sizes. Regular brushing keeps a Maltese coat tangle-free.

The little smile is the part that gives her away. She does not look the least bit worried about the ripped bag. She looks like someone who is quite pleased with how the day has turned out. A pile of treats and a sunny floor are all a small white dog really needs.
