How often does a Maltese need a scissor cut?

Most maltese need their scissor cut refreshed every 4-6 weeks. Their coat mats easily, so regular brushing every 2-3 days between grooms is essential.

How much does a scissor cut cost for a Maltese in Australia?

A scissor cut for a Maltese typically costs $50-$80 in Australia, depending on the salon, location, and coat condition. Matted coats often incur surcharges of $10-$30, so regular grooming keeps costs consistent.

General Maltese Grooming Tips

Brush your Maltese daily to prevent tangles in the fine, silky coat. Clean around the eyes daily to minimise tear staining. Use a whitening shampoo to keep the coat bright. Avoid letting the coat get wet without drying thoroughly.
