Does hair that grow over the eyes of Maltese bother them? I'm worried that if I cut try to cut it, it'll poke into his eyes :O It's not serious right now, but just what if it grows longer.. Also, what's the best way to remove the tear staning that's forming below his eyes? Does this usually become a huge health problem?
Thanks for all your help! (The maltese is only 8-9 weeks old if it matters...got him on the 1st of Jan!)

Concerning hair growth over eyes and tear staning of Maltese? This may help with the tear staining. Do not feed him any food with red food dye in it. I was told at the vets office last week, that is the best way to avoid the tear staining. I can't promise that it will work, but it might!

Concerning hair growth over eyes and tear staning of Maltese? Take him to the groomer. The sooner the better. As soon as he's completed his shots have him groomed. That way he will be used to it and it will not be traumatic later on.
Maltese are high maintenance dogs that need regular professional grooming. You can purchase tear stain remover at Petsmart/Petco.
Concerning hair growth over eyes and tear staning of Maltese? Maltese definitely do not require professional grooming!!! Anyone who isn't too lazy to pick up a brush once a week can certainly take care of a tiny maltese. Get yourself a small sized pin brush to brush the dog and a slicker to tease out matts and brush your own dog.
As for the hair over the eyes, it doesn't really bother the dog, but what you can do when it gets long enough is put it up in a top knot. As for removing tear stains, all pet stores products to remove them. It's not a health problem, just discolors the hair is all.
If you want to trim your puppy's hair as he gets older, you can very easily train him to stand still and if you're nervous about trimming the hair over his eyes, use blunt-tipped scissors and do it slowly and calmly.

Concerning hair growth over eyes and tear staning of Maltese? You can let a maltese's hair grow long and put it in a bow. But if you want to retain the "puppy cut" and are afraid to trim it yourself, take him to a groomer. It's not that expensive. We cut Our long haired toy chidoodle's hair with a pair of blunt-ended but sharp edged scissors. We use tear wipes for his eyes and occasionally we have to comb out eye goobers.
Concerning hair growth over eyes and tear staning of Maltese? Why does he drink from a water bottle? A dish will do fine. The hair that grows over their eyes is fine, leave it alone. Tear staining, that will be an ongoing issue because the dogs eyes naturally tear. You can buy a product at a pet supply that you can use to bleach the stains. Unless you are showing your dog, it isn't hurting your animal.

Concerning hair growth over eyes and tear staning of Maltese? You can buy a solution at the pet store for the tear stains, Maltese are prone to them. Put his hair into a pony tail on top of his head, or take him to a groomer to have him trimmed. I personally think the pony tails are really cute. Make sure you brush him every day, matted hair is no fun for either of you.
