Why is the Maltese dog breed so popular in Mumbai?

There are several reason of getting Maltese popular in Mumbai day by day. You can find some resoan below:

Maltese Nutrition Requirements

Maltese puppies and dogs only use a small amount of food; if you've only had larger breeds before, it's hard to imagine such a small serving to be enough to power this breed! Before getting into how much food a Maltese should eat, it should be noted that different foods differ quite a bit in calorie content.

Breakdown of Macro-nutrients

Some foods are calorie-dense (high-quality dog foods, home-cooked food). So, serving sizes tend to be smaller than less-than-perfect brands. Also, lesser quality food is often filled with many fillers that don't provide the same amount of nutrition per serving, so a Maltese may just need to eat more to get the same calories.

Growing puppies require about 55 calories per pound of body weight daily. Adult Maltese dogs (roughly the 9-month mark) and all other adult dogs have an energy requirement of about 45 calories per pound of body weight per day. Remember that this number can vary — up or down — by 20% and ultimately depends on a dog's activity level, health, age and individual metabolism.

Dog foods provide recommended feeding guidelines on packaging based on their specific formula and a dog's age and weight, and this information is pretty accurate. Remember that these serving sizes are daily (not per meal) and that you're typically feeding multiple snacks throughout the day.
