Maltipoo: professional at‑home coat care

Maltipoo: professional at‑home coat care

January 12, 2026 5 minutes to read 596 views

Maltipoo is not just an incredibly cute toy-sized dog, but a combination of the intelligence of a Poodle and the tenderness of a Maltese. One of the main advantages of this breed is its coat: it is soft, hypoallergenic, almost non‑shedding, and perfectly suited for people with allergies. However, the Maltipoo’s coat requires special attention and regular grooming to keep your pet looking well‑kept, as if it has just had a professional trim at a grooming salon.

The PURAMUR team and groomer Yuliia Marchenko have prepared a guide that will help you understand the nuances of daily care, at‑home grooming, and prevention of mats in Maltipoos.

Features of the Maltipoo coat

A Maltipoo’s coat can vary from a light wave to dense curls, which affects both the choice of cosmetic products and grooming techniques. The main problem Maltipoo owners face is a strong tendency to form mats and tangled hair. Since dead hair does not shed on its own, it gets caught in the live hairs, which leads to painful knots and dense mats that are difficult to brush out without special products.

Basic rules of daily care for a Maltipoo

Brushing the Maltipoo’s coat
Brush your dog at least 3–4 times a week (ideally every day) to prevent mats from forming. For proper Maltipoo coat care, use a metal comb and a slicker brush with soft pins suitable for curly and fluffy coats.

Eye hygiene in Maltipoos
Due to the special structure of the muzzle, Maltipoos often develop dark “tear stains” that spoil the appearance even after a perfect grooming session. The eyes and the area around them should be wiped daily with a special lotion or a cleanser designed for the eye area of small‑breed dogs.

Bathing and basic grooming
The optimal bathing frequency for a Maltipoo is once every 10–14 days using a professional shampoo and conditioner for dogs with sensitive, dry, or irritation‑prone skin. Regular bathing with the right products makes brushing easier, reduces mat formation, and helps maintain a healthy, well‑groomed look of the coat.

Professional PURAMUR Cosmetics Selection for Maltipoo Grooming

To maintain your Maltipoo's skin health and coat beauty between groomer visits, we recommend a three-step care system: cleansing, nourishment, and mat protection.

1. Cleansing and Moisturizing the Coat
Since Maltipoo coat tends to be dry, it's crucial to use sulfate-free dog shampoos that don't irritate sensitive skin. The right Maltipoo shampoo provides gentle cleansing, doesn't dry out the skin, and prepares the coat for further grooming.
Recommendation: PURAMUR shampoo for dry and sensitive skin Hypoallergenic for delicate cleansing. It gently removes dirt while preserving the skin's natural lipid balance and is perfect for regular Maltipoo bathing.

2. Nourishment and Easy Brushing
After shampooing, always use a balm or conditioner for your Maltipoo's coat. Conditioner "seals" the hair cuticles, making them more elastic, manageable, and protected from breakage. This simplifies at-home grooming, trimming, and brushing, especially for dogs with curly or long coats.
Recommendation: PURAMUR moisturizing balm-conditioner Hyaluronic Protection. It smooths curls, eases brushing, adds shine, and prevents static electricity—critical for the fluffy, "toy-like" Maltipoo coat.

3. Fighting Mats and Preventing Tangles
If you notice knots or mats in the coat, never try to brush them out dry—this hurts the dog and damages hair structure. Safe mat detangling requires a special easy-brushing spray.
Recommendation: PURAMUR fluid-spray Easy Brushing Express Hair Protector for easier brushing and Maltipoo mat prevention. Simply apply to the mat, wait a minute, and gently work it out with fingers or a comb. Use the PURAMUR fluid-spray before brushing and bathing for best results.

PURAMUR Expert Grooming Tips for Maltipoos

Tip #1
Never bathe a Maltipoo if it has unbrushed mats. Water will tighten them further, forcing even professional groomers to clip them out after drying.

Tip #2
Always dry your Maltipoo with a low-heat blow dryer while brushing the coat with a slicker brush or comb for long-haired dogs. This creates the signature "teddy bear" effect and helps maintain the trim shape longer.
