Depending on the type of insulin and dose, your dog’s diabetes medicine may cost $40-$200 per month.

Do you need to worry about A Maltipoo shedding?
Maltipoos typically shed very little to none at all. However, because these dogs have mixed genes, it is challenging to predict whether their coat will be more similar to that of a Poodle or a Maltese. Either way, Poodles and Maltese on their own are not heavy shedders, so there shouldn’t be a need to worry about excessive shedding.
How old does A Maltipoo have to be to stop barking?
Under one-year-old a maltipoo does have a tendency to bark frequently, especially during night time. This is common with many puppies. But do take note: a maltipoo is a designer dog. It is a house pet that uses barking for communicating discomfort. When there is excessive barking, try to check the bed or cage. Is the maltipoo uncomfortable?
How often should I trim my maltipoo’s nails?
Your dog’s nails will need to be trimmed either once or twice a month. The best way to tell when the nails need cut is when you can hear them clicking on the floor. Like other Poodle mixes, Maltipoos will require trimming of their coat— this typically only needs doing once or twice a year.
How often should I take my maltipoo for a walk?
A quick walk once or twice a day and a short play session will oftentimes do the trick to burn off some extra energy and keep your Maltipoo healthy. As a social dog who thrives off of companionship, Maltipoos do equally well in large houses or small apartments— they even do well in city settings.
