Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has used the colognes from Petsilk.. their descriptions are rather vague and I'm so sensitive to scents that I was just wondering if anyone who has tried them could describe them. Thank you
I haven't tried the perfurms from PetSilk but I do know about the website.

She ordered me what she uses on her dogs (and they are beautiful dogs with beautiful white, silky hair and I am hoping my little puppies hair looks half as good as her dogs) I don't know what the product is but when I find out I will post it here.

Hello, Everyone!
My question is concerning the top knot. I've heard that we need to change the rubber (latex) band every-single-day. If we use a paper (the ones to wrap the Maltese hair) underneath the band - as in, the rubber band on top of the paper - could we leave it on for longer? Days? Or...
Hello Maltese folks. I need some groomer guidance.
We have our third little guy - His hair looks like the one in your header photo - second from the right but at the moment not that fine. We normally get him groomed every 3-4 weeks. His hair is - I'm not sure how to describe it. Cottony I...
My Maltese Gianni has very dense, thick, wavy hair. Since a baby he has been impossible to groom. Jumping, twisting and biting, so he goes to groomer every three months. In these troubling times, all groomers are closed. Right now his hair is badly matted. Going to attempt with clippers today...
