Is this product okay for a 10 lb. Maltese?

I give my 8-1/2 lb 8 yr old maltese one of these every other day. I started him on one a day for about 2 months at the recommendation of my vet. My malt has a luxating patella and he was limping and having trouble jumping off chairs and sofas. He has been taking these for over a year and he is like new. I cut back to every other day after about 2 months. I give them even though he is doing very well now. I don't want to have him suffer again. These are the best - nutramax - the directions tell you exactly how much and for how long. 10 lb malt will do great on 1 tab. I also put fish oil in my dog's food. By the way, they like the taste and eat the tab without hesitation. Like a treat.

My vet prescribed it for my 5lb Chihuahua, at the dosage of 1/4 of a chew every other day! It is safe, but check with your vet the best dosage for your pup.

Sorry for the late reply I have been out of the country! The product label indicates the dosage for a 10 lbs dog so I called my Vets office and they it is safe just follow instructions.

I have three 15# doxies and I cut these soft chews in half; giving each dog a half every day. You may need to cut in quarters for your 10# furbaby.

I agree with M Goodall. We have a 16 lb Mini Schnauzer. The only thing she can't do in there is fully stretch out from front to back. So, for an 8 to 10 lb dog that won't get any bigger, it would be great.

We have the small one for our Maltese and she is under 10 lbs. I would think a Dachshund would take a small size also.

I have a Shih Tzu that is about 10-11 lbs. and she LOVES this bag!! I literally find her in it sometimes just playing in my apartment! This is a great bag and I think it would definitely accommodate your Maltese comfortably. The only thing to think about is in the summer. I'm not sure where you are but I do not recommend it in the heat. I'm in NY and only use it in the winter - definitely keeps her warm in those months and even has room for a toy/blanket to keep in there with her. I have a different bag I use in the summer months. Hope this helps!

My dog is a Maltese, so she was not able to move it around. I also connected it to her crate, but I had to use the divider that came with her crate to close the opening on the top because her crate was not that tall. It works great for me, just make sure you connect the crate with no openings. I left an opening one day and she got out and had the entire house to herself.

My Maltese is 16 1/2 lbs and fits in the stroller just fine. It's great. As a matter of fact he could be 17 lbs by now.

I don't think so. My dogs are 10 lbs & it is a good size for them. Our beagle is 35lbs & it is too small for him.

This collar is very adjustable and can fit a very small dog. I'm not sure if the manufacturer recommends using it on dogs under 10 pounds.

It is a nice pet carrier. But I have it for my 3 lb. Maltese. He fits fine. We have a 5 1/2 lb Pom also. it would be to small for her

I use this for a Yorkie, 10lb. It doesn't seem to be too heavy but it would depend on the breed and puppy size.

I have a 10-11 pound Chihuahua and he fits just perfect so I think it would be fine for your 6 lb. Maltese. He would definitely be comfortable and have a little extra room. It depends on you if you don't mind carrying a bigger tote but it has two side pockets which are useful for food, leashes and/or portable food and water containers. I like mine when I travel with him and want to be inconspicuous.

No, my 13 pound Maltese needs a large. I got her a medium and it is too small. Item is very well made. Check the sizes given on th product, they vary. I made the mistake of ordering by Diamond's normal size. The items made in China run small, but what I have gotten, is very well made. Since I check their size chart , I don't have any problem.

Should be fine. I have one 25 lb pug that fits inside perfectly so 10 lbs total should be a comfortable fit.

My Maltese is 7lbs 9oz. Maltese are longer than high, so it's possible your mini will fit. You will definitely have to adjust the leash part - it's much too long. Just got mine out to use today.
