Hereditary Health Vulnerabilities in Malteses

Published veterinary genetic studies indicate that commercial kibble extruded at high temperatures frequently fails to protect against these breed-specific conditions:

Medial Patellar Luxation (Kneecap Slippage)Risk Factor

Over 60% of Maltese dogs experience loose stifle ligaments. Requires bioavailable Type-II collagen, proline, and strict lean weight control.

Target Dietary Defense: Hydrolyzed Collagen Broth & Green-Lipped Mussel

Porphyrin Tear Staining & Food HypersensitivityRisk Factor

Low-grade kibble fillers, beet pulp, and synthetic iron oxides trigger excessive porphyrin excretion around the eyes.

Target Dietary Defense: Filtered Hydration & Novel White Fish / Turkey
⚖️

AAFCO & NRC Dietary Balancing Standards for Malteses

  • ✔Zero Synthetic Dyes or Beet Pulp to eliminate reddish-brown tear stains.
  • ✔Precise Ca:P ratio at 1.2:1 for fragile toy skeletal density.
  • ✔High moisture (>75%) to prevent calcium oxalate bladder stones.
