What does a bath & dry look like on a Maltese?
The bath & dry on a Maltese creates a professional bath, blow-dry, and brush-out without a haircut. The body is typically kept at no cutting involved, with the face shaped no cutting involved. The exact result depends on your Maltese's individual coat texture — maltese have a long, silky single coat coat that holds this style well but requires regular brushing.
How often does a Maltese need a bath & dry?
Most maltese need their bath & dry refreshed every 4-6 weeks. Their coat mats easily, so regular brushing every 2-3 days between grooms is essential.
How much does a bath & dry cost for a Maltese in Australia?

How do I maintain a bath & dry at home between grooms?
Great between full grooms. Regular baths keep the coat clean while the style grows out naturally. For maltese specifically, pay extra attention to the areas behind the ears, armpits, and where collars or harnesses sit — these are the first places mats form.
