As a Maltese dog owner, you may have noticed that their cute, round eyes can sometimes become a little gunky or tear-stained. Regular eye cleaning is crucial to maintaining their hygiene and preventing any potential eye infections. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of cleaning your Maltese's eyes effectively.

What you'll need:

  • Clean, lint-free cloths or cotton balls
  • Warm water
  • Approved dog eye cleaning solution
  • Treats or rewards (optional but helpful!)

Step 1: Prepare the cleaning area

Find a well-lit and quiet spot where you can comfortably clean your Maltese's eyes. Make sure you have all the necessary items within reach.

Step 2: Relax your Maltese

Sit or gently restrain your Maltese in a comfortable position. Talk to them soothingly to help them feel calm and secure during the process. Offering treats or rewards can also make the experience more pleasant for them.

Step 3: Moisturize the eye area

Take a clean cloth or cotton ball and dampen it with warm water. Gently wipe around your Maltese's eyes to moisten any dried crust or discharge. Be cautious not to touch the eyeball itself.

Step 4: Apply dog eye cleaning solution

Consult with your veterinarian for an approved dog eye cleaning solution. Apply a few drops of the solution onto another clean cloth or cotton ball.

Step 5: Clean the eyes

With the solution-soaked cloth or cotton ball, carefully clean around the edges of your Maltese's eyes. Use gentle strokes and avoid applying excessive pressure.

Step 6: Remove tear stains

If your Maltese has tear stains, you can use a separate clean cloth or cotton ball to gently remove any discoloration caused by excessive tearing. Remember to be extra careful when working around their eyes.

Step 7: Repeat if necessary

If the eye discharge or tear stains persist, repeat steps 3 to 6 until the area around your Maltese's eyes is clean and free from any debris.

Step 8: Reward your Maltese

Once you have finished cleaning your Maltese's eyes, reward them with praise, treats, or a short play session. This positive reinforcement will help them associate eye cleaning with something enjoyable.

Regularly cleaning your Maltese's eyes is an essential part of their grooming routine. By following this step-by-step guide and maintaining good eye hygiene, you can help prevent any potential eye infections and keep your Maltese looking their best. Remember to consult with your veterinarian for any specific concerns or if your Maltese's eye problems persist.
