A Maltese Puppy | White typically lives 12–15 years. Most of what determines whether it gets there is routine care rather than anything dramatic.
Keep the records
Booster schedules run from the original dates, and a new vet asks for the history first.
Vaccination and deworming
The core course starts around six weeks, rabies follows, then annual boosters. Deworming runs fortnightly to twelve weeks, monthly to six months, then quarterly.
Low-shedding, and what it costs
The Maltese Puppy | White sheds little. That is why the coat needs more work rather than less: hair that does not fall out mats against the skin instead, so clipping becomes a scheduled expense.
Planning for about 13 years
A Maltese Puppy | White is with you for about 13 years. Budget and routine both need to survive that, including the last quarter of it when a medium dog needs more veterinary attention than it did young.
A breed from Global / Various, living in India
The Maltese Puppy | White was developed in Global / Various. The part that travels badly is rarely temperament - it is the coat and the tolerance for heat. Plan the year around that and most of the rest follows.
The annual check
Once a year for an adult dog, and book it before the hot months rather than during them.
What to watch for in a medium dog
For this size class: weight gain and hip health. None is a reason not to own the breed; all are cheaper to manage early.
