1. Take your Maltese for annual vaccinations. Your veterinarian will be able to advise you as to which diseases are prevalent in the area, and which it is necessary to vaccinate against. Some states also require all pets to be vaccinated against rabies, in which case you must comply.
- Take your veterinarian's advice on preventative healthcare such as heartworm, and regular worming treatments and use them regularly.[10]
2. Have your dog spayed or neutered. If your dog is a pet and not intended for breeding, then speak to your vet about desexing. This helps reduce antisocial behaviors, such as territory marking in the male. It also reduces the risk of certain diseases in the female, such as mammary cancer (if done before the second season) and pyometra (womb infection).
3. Consider getting your pet microchipped. This is a permanent way of identifying the dog as yours. Should it escape or be stolen, the ID chip allows you to prove ownership.
