Now that you have decided which of the Maltese puppies for sale is for you and your Massachusetts family, you must prepare for your new addition. After you bring home a puppy from a Maltese breeder, the first few weeks will require a lot of your time. Your Maltese puppy will need constant attention and care. They will be exploring and wanting to get into mischief. It’s a good idea to be on the lookout overseeing everything the puppy does and everywhere the Maltese puppy goes. You must remember to have some patience and take everything one step at a time. We suggest having a sense of humor when your puppy misbehaves, just like toddlers, they will grow out of this stage.

Not only should you puppy proof your Massachusetts house but be aware of the items you will need before your Maltese puppy comes home. A few things we suggest to have on hand; a wire or plastic dog crate, bedding for the crate that is machine washable and thick enough for your Maltese puppy's comfort, also you will need to pick up stainless steel dishes one for water and one for dry food, a puppy collar with leash, ID tag with your information in case your Maltese puppy ever wanders off, a few high quality chew toys, grooming supplies such as a comb or brush, premium dry puppy food, a baby gate for blocking areas that you do not wish for the puppy to go into, and information on ways to train your new Maltese puppy.

After a week or two Maltese puppies will have a routine and will be acclimated to your Massachusetts home and the new environment, ready for life as a family!
