Hot Asphalt Hurts!!
Always be in control of your Maltese! – What does this mean?
Never use a flexi-lead or retractable leash. This allows your dog to be too far away from you. Predators, other dogs and cars could seriously injure your Maltese. 
Water Safety!- Maltese are not water safe. They can swim, yes, but most cannot get out of a pool or pond by themselves, which leads to drowning.
Predators! – Coyotes, Bobcats, Owls, Hawks, Javalena
Poisons!- frogs, anti-freeze, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, tobacco, pesticides, herbicides, lawn & garden fertilizer, wild animal droppings, rodent bait,
