What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Maltese?
A Maltese teddy bear cut rounds the head into a fluffy ball shape, with the body trimmed to 1-1.5 inches. The ears are trimmed short and blended into the round head. The fine, silky coat creates a softer, more delicate teddy bear look compared to curly-coated breeds. The result is an angelic, doll-like appearance.
How much does a Maltese teddy bear cut cost?
A Maltese teddy bear cut costs $50-$80 in Australia. Maltese are one of the smallest grooming breeds, but their fine, silky coat requires careful handling to prevent breakage and matting.
How often should a Maltese be groomed?
Every 4-6 weeks. The Maltese single coat doesn't have an undercoat but mats very easily due to its fine, silky texture. Daily brushing with a pin brush or soft slicker is ideal, with particular attention to behind the ears and under the arms.
How do I manage Maltese tear staining with a teddy bear cut?
The teddy bear cut helps by keeping facial hair shorter, making daily eye cleaning easier. Wipe under the eyes daily with a damp cloth or pet eye wipe. Ask your groomer to trim the face hair clear of the eyes. For persistent staining, consult your vet about dietary changes or supplements.
