Maltipoo Dog Grooming.
Maltipoos are tiny, affectionate, and have a coat that tangles the moment it meets a harness. K-Pup grooms maltipoos one at a time in a quiet, climate-controlled mobile trailer at your home — no big dogs, no loud dryers, no waiting around.
Tiny & Fluffy
Maltipoo cuts that work in real life.
Teacup, toy and small maltipoos often have soft, white or cream coats that stain and mat easily. The Maltese parent-breed background is on the AKC Maltese page.
Puppy Cut
The most popular maltipoo trim: one even length all over, usually 1/2 to 3/4 inch, with a rounded head. It's comfortable, easy to brush, and keeps the cute puppy look without the daily upkeep of a long coat.
Teddy Bear Trim
A slightly longer, fuller version of the puppy cut with a rounder head and softer ears. It needs a bit more brushing at home but gives that plush toy look many owners love.
Teacup & Toy Maltipoos
Under 10 lbs, these dogs are handled gently on a low table with short, calm sessions. We never force a tiny dog through a long groom and always work at their pace with breaks.
White & Cream Coat Care
Light coats show staining and tangles immediately. We use a gentle whitening or brightening shampoo, keep the coat dry and clean, and trim the areas that collect moisture and food.
Little Dog Details
The face, the teeth and the tiny trachea.
Tear staining and the eye area
Maltipoo eyes tear easily, and the hair around them stains fast. We keep the eye area short and clean, dry the muzzle, and can recommend a daily wipe routine that actually helps between grooms.
Dental disease prevention
Tiny dogs have crowded mouths and are prone to tartar. We offer anesthesia-free teeth brushing as an add-on. Dental health is one of the best things you can do for a maltipoo's long-term health.
Collar and trachea awareness
Small breeds can have sensitive tracheas. We never use a collar to hold a dog on the table; we use a properly fitted harness loop and support the body. We also recommend harnesses over collars for walks.
Gentle skin and thin coat
Maltipoo skin is thin and can be pink. We don't take them down to the skin, use a low-heat dryer, and keep a protective length so they stay comfortable in sun and wind.
The American Maltese Association has breed-specific health and care information for Maltese and maltipoo owners.

Maltipoo Grooming FAQ
Questions maltipoos owners ask us.
How often should a maltipoo be groomed?
Every 4–6 weeks for a full groom, with a face and feet tidy every 2–3 weeks. Their hair grows fast and tangles around the collar and ears, so frequent touch-ups make a big difference.
What is the best haircut for a maltipoo?
Most owners choose a puppy cut at 1/2 to 3/4 inch. It's easy to maintain, comfortable in Maine weather, and keeps the adorable round face.
How do I reduce tear staining on my maltipoo?
Keep the hair around the eyes short and dry, wipe the area daily with a damp cloth, and use a stainless steel or ceramic bowl. Stubborn staining may need a vet check for blocked tear ducts.
Is mobile grooming safe for a tiny maltipoo?
It's often the safest choice. No car ride, no other dogs, no crate, and we control the temperature. We work on a low table and take breaks so your tiny dog never gets overwhelmed.
