Maltipoo Puppy: Height, Weight, Feed and Vaccinations Explained

 

Introduction 

A little dog with an adorable demeanour and hypoallergenic coat, the Maltipoo is a crossbreed between a Maltese and a Poodle. The best qualities from both parent breeds are inherited by these gorgeous pups, who are not only incredibly bright and trainable but also incredibly cute.  

The loving nature of Maltipoos is one of its most endearing features. They are noted for developing close relationships with their owners and thriving on human company. The Maltipoo blends in well with many homes and lifestyles, whether you're searching for an active playmate or a gentle lap dog. 


Origin: 

The adorable crossbreed known as the Maltipoo puppy originated in the United States, where breeders wanted to produce a companion dog that had the best qualities from both the Maltese and Poodle breeds. The goal of this deliberate crossbreeding, which started in the late 20th century, was to blend the gentle nature and petite stature of the Maltese with the intellect, affection, and hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle. Breeders wanted to create a lovely companion that would appeal to a broad spectrum of dog enthusiasts, so they crossed these two well-loved breeds. The Maltipoo swiftly became well-known because to their endearing looks, devoted temperament, and adaptability to a variety of lifestyles.

Ideal Weight 

A Maltipoo's ideal weight can vary based on a number of factors, such as age, sex, and overall body composition.

However, it's important to note that individual Maltipoos may fall outside of this range due to factors like genetics and health conditions, so it's important to consult a veterinarian to determine the exact ideal weight for your Maltipoo based on their unique needs and characteristics.

Vaccination Schedule for Maltipoo puppy 

The initial vaccination schedule for Maltipoo puppies would have been administered before to sale, but it is the responsibility of the new owners to ensure that the puppies receive their subsequent doses on time. 

  

10–12 weeks old, keeping in mind that a puppy wouldn't be completely protected right away but would instead be two weeks after receiving their second shot. 

The necessity of boosters for dogs has been a topic of much dispute. Therefore, before deciding whether a dog should continue receiving yearly immunisations, often known as boosters, it is best to consult with a veterinarian at Supervet Pet Clinic.


Spaying and neutering of Maltipoo puppy 

These days, many veterinarians advise against spaying and neutering dogs until they are a little older, or more mature, before carrying out the surgeries. As a result, they recommend neutering male dogs and spaying female dogs between the ages of six and nine months, and occasionally even up to twelve months. 

  

Some veterinarians advise spaying and neutering dogs no earlier than six months of age, unless there are medical grounds for doing so. Having said that, as different breeds have different needs, it is always a good idea to consult a veterinarian at Suoervet Dubai and heed their advice regarding when a dog should be neutered or spayed. 





 

Allergies affecting them 

Due to their susceptibility to allergies, Maltipoos should contact a veterinarian as soon as possible if an allergy flares up in their pet. It might be extremely difficult to identify the triggers for allergies and to get rid of them. Having said that, a veterinarian may help a dog suffering from an allergy feel more comfortable while they worked to identify potential triggers, which might include the following: 

  

  • There are several foods that are heavy in grain and other cereal fillers. 

  • Pollens in the air 

  • dust mites 

  • surroundings 

  • Bites from ticks and fleas 

  • substances present in common household cleaning products
