What does a Maltipoo puppy cost?
The →dog breed Maltipoo has become very popular in recent years. For this reason, you can expect to pay 1,500 to 2,000€ for a puppy. These little fluffballs score not only with their cute appearance. The breed is also suitable for →allergy sufferers as they shed little to no hair or allergens.
In addition to the purchase price for a Maltipoo puppy, there are also costs for the →initial equipment such as a bed, leash, harness, collar, and food. Furthermore, having a four-legged companion means you are obligated to pay a dog tax and a dog liability insurance. A dog or puppy school, on the other hand, is not mandatory, but it can certainly make sense for the clever Maltipoo.

Do the costs for your Maltipoo puppy seem unusually high? Is the adoption not allowing you to see the mother dog? Or is the first meeting taking place in the front yard, instead of in the apartment? Then you should be cautious! Since Maltipoos are considered "trendy dog breeds," unscrupulous breeders or puppy dealers try to profit from the animals. To ensure you do not unknowingly support such (partially illegal) businesses, take a look at our checklist when it comes to buying a puppy!

What food for your Maltipoo puppy?
Like all other breeds, your little Maltipoo puppy initially only eats →special puppy food. It contains important nutrients and minerals that your four-legged friend needs for development and growth. Puppies have an increased need for certain nutrients until their first year of life, all of which you can find in a good junior food.
You should also avoid unnecessary additives like grains, sugar, flavoring, or coloring agents from a young age. Additionally, you should refrain from independently supplementing your puppy's diet with any food supplements. If you are unsure about your four-legged friend's nutrition, →our experts are happy to advise you free of charge or you can consult a veterinarian.
Starting training with your Maltipoo puppy
If you choose the mix of Poodle and Maltese, you should expect a quirky and lively little one. As typical for puppies, your new companion will be [→playful](/magazin/hunde/welpenerziehung/das-beste-spielzeug-fur-welpen), curious, and very sweet. Don't let the cute round eyes and fluffy teddy look of the Maltipoo wrap you around their finger and stay →consistent in training** - this will make things easier for you later.
Due to the curly coat of the Maltipoo, you cannot avoid a weekly →coat care. To ensure your little four-legged friend will handle regular brushing and visits to the dog groomer well, you should practice holding still and being touched all over the body early on. Body care also includes →tooth brushing, which you can also start training from puppy age.
With a Maltipoo puppy, you have a →popular beginner dog by your side, but a dog school can still be advisable. Especially at the puppy age, the →right training is very important. In a puppy school, your dog can make contacts with other puppies, while you can exchange ideas with other dog owners and ask all your questions.
