Can Maltese swim?

Yes, Maltese can swim, but their small size and light build can make swimming more challenging compared to larger, more water-oriented breeds. It’s important to introduce them to water gradually and ensure they wear a well-fitting canine life jacket for safety. While some Maltese may take to water naturally, others may need more time and encouragement to feel comfortable swimming. Supervision is essential, especially around pools or other bodies of water, to prevent accidents and ensure their safety while enjoying the water.
