Our Promise of Health & Trust

 A Commitment as Pure as the Breed
At Maltese Heart, every puppy is a treasure, and every adoption is a sacred commitment. We believe your journey to finding a furry family member should be filled with excitement, not anxiety. That’s why our foundation is built on transparent, rigorous health standards and an ironclad guarantee that protects your new companion. Our promise is simple to provide you with a healthy, happy, and lovingly raised Maltese, supported by our expertise for a lifetime.

The Foundation of Health Our Proactive Protocol

We go far beyond the basics. Our holistic approach ensures every Maltese Heart puppy is set up for a long, vibrant, and healthy life.

Elite Genetic Heritage & Parental Screening:
The journey to a healthy puppy begins with the health of the parents. Our breeding Maltese are not just pets; they are cherished members of our family and are selected for their exemplary health, temperament, and adherence to the breed standard.

• Comprehensive Health Testing: All our parent dogs undergo and have cleared the following:
• Cardiac Exam: Cleared by a veterinarian for congenital heart defects.
• Patellar Luxation Evaluation: Certification of sound, stable knee joints.
• Ophthalmologist Evaluation: Annually cleared for hereditary eye diseases (such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy).
•  Advanced Genetic Screening: DNA testing for breed-specific hereditary conditions.

You are welcome to review the official health clearances of any puppy’s parents.

Meticulous Puppy Wellness & Veterinary Care:
From their first breath, our puppies are enveloped in a bubble of wellness.

• Veterinary Partnership: Each puppy receives a series of vet health checks at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, monitoring weight, development, and overall well-being.
• Vaccination & Deworming Schedule: They follow a strict, vet-supervised schedule. Your puppy will go home with at least their first set of age-appropriate vaccinations and multiple deworming treatments, all meticulously recorded in their personal health booklet.
• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS): From days 3-16, we implement the “Bio-Sensor” program. This proven protocol gives our puppies a neurological advantage, resulting in improved cardiovascular health, a stronger adrenal system, and greater resilience to stress.

The Home-Raised Advantage:
Our puppies are nurtured in our home’s heart, not a kennel. They are socialized with a variety of household sounds, textures, and people, including gentle, supervised interactions. This critical early exposure cultivates the confident, adaptable, and sweet-natured temperament the Maltese breed is famous for.
