Maltese Club UK

Do we really want our Maltese to look like this? It’s hard to say if these are ‘models’ or if they are real animals. The images were discovered on a non-UK web site along with other toy breeds equally deformed – they take exaggeration to a new meaning.

Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. Sanskrit records show its medicinal use about 5,000 years ago, and it has been used for at least 3,000 years in Chinese medicine. The Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans were known to have harnessed the healing properties of garlic as well. According to the Whole Dog Journal, small amounts of garlic not only act as a natural flea repellant, but garlic can be used for its wonderful antifungal and antibacterial properties. It also promotes the production of white blood cells thereby acting as an immune booster for dogs with low or compromised immunity and may benefit dogs with diabetes by helping reduce blood-sugar levels.

Imagine this category as a ‘Dear Doris’ letter column in the local paper where you can obtain answers to all kinds of diverse issues relating to the well being of our Maltese.
