Nowadays, lots of people prefer short haircuts for Maltipoos. This kind of haircut is best, especially during the summer. Some people think they have some benefits when their dog has a short haircut. Not just these people, their dog will also get the benefits.
There are a number of benefits of a short haircut for Maltipoo and for you as the owner. Some of them are as follows:
- The dog will feel comfortable and fresh in the hot weather
Just like humans who surely will not want to wear a heavy coat when the weather is hot, your Maltipoo is also the same. For those who live in the area with the seasonal climate, you can give your dog a short haircut once or twice a year, especially when the weather is warmer. If your area is the kind of place where it is hot all year long, giving your dog the short haircut all the time is better.
Unlike humans, Maltipoos do not have the ability to sweat to make themselves cool. The only thing that they can do is to rely on painting, drinking water, and releasing heat through their paw pads and nose. When it comes to regulating the body temperatures, humans are still better compared to them. Not only that, these dogs are also known to be more susceptible to overheating, which can be pretty dangerous. Besides, overheating can also cause you to spend money as you will need to take your pet to the vet.

In general, Maltipoos are a high maintenance breed when it comes to keeping their coat healthy and looking good. Some kinds of this mix even have different coat attributes that can be hard or easy to manage. In general, it can be stated that the longer their hair the more challenges that you get to keep them clean and free of matting.
On the other hand, if your Maltipoo has a short haircut, it will be easier for you to take care of it and to keep it clean. The time to bathe can be cut by 50%. Brushing will also become easier. Plus, you will not have to deal with the disgusting poop that stuck to long hair around its butt.
