About Maltese Dogs

Maltese are refined, gentle companion dogs with flowing white coats and an aristocratic bearing. Despite their elegant appearance, they're playful, spirited, and surprisingly tough little dogs. Their devotion to their owners and cheerful dispositions have made them beloved companions for thousands of years.

Adopting a Maltese means welcoming a loving, lively friend who brightens every day. They're ideal for apartment living, hypoallergenic, and wonderful for seniors and families alike. Their small size and gentle nature make them perfect therapy dogs and loyal personal companions.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

45°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

Phoenix winters are the best time for Labrador Retrievers to enjoy the outdoors. South Mountain and Papago Park trails are perfect for high-energy Labs. The mild temperatures let them exercise to their heart’s content.

Spring

55°F to 90°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily in spring as they drop their undercoat. By May, Phoenix temperatures climb into the 90s and Labrador Retrievers need shorter walks. Transition to early morning outings by mid-spring.

Summer

78°F to 106°F

Jun – Aug

Phoenix summer is extremely dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Pavement can reach 170°F and burns paw pads. Walk Labs only before 6 AM or after 9 PM and never skip water. Heatstroke risk is very high.

Fall

60°F to 95°F

Sep – Nov

September is still brutally hot for Labs in Phoenix. By late October, Labrador Retrievers can resume normal exercise on desert trails. November is ideal for longer hikes at Camelback Mountain with your Lab.
