Are Maltese good with kids?

Yes, Maltese dogs are good with kids when they are well-socialized and accustomed to children from a young age. Their gentle and affectionate nature makes them potential playmates and companions for kids.

However, due to their small size and delicate frame, it’s crucial to teach children how to interact with the dog respectfully and gently, minimizing the risk of accidental harm. It’s also important for pet parents to teach their dogs how to gently interact with children.

As with any breed, it is recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your Maltese to keep both the child and dog safe.
