- 1). Sit your Maltese on a soft towel or mat. Due to their size, Maltese dogs will not be comfortable on hard surfaces for extended periods of time.
- 2). Comb your Maltese's fur with a metal, wide-toothed comb. Search for any hair knots. Cut out any hair knots with fingernail scissors.
- 3). Groom your Maltese with a fine-toothed metal comb to get out any remaining snags or knots. If you find any more knots, continue to cut them out with the fingernail scissors. Combing them out may hurt your Maltese. Do not cut the fur too short, though, to avoid any discrepancies with the rest of the coat's length.
- 4). Complete your grooming with a smoothing brush. This will spread the natural oils from your Maltese through its fur. Snip the edges of the fur you cut to even them out with the fingernail scissors.
