Animal Friends Pet Care is Panama City's specialist for Maltese grooming. Our groomers have years of experience with the breed's silky white, long coat and the specific cuts, handling, and skin-care techniques that keep Malteses looking and feeling their best.

Maltese tear staining is easier to manage with regular face trims. We use tear-stain-friendly shampoos and techniques. We book every Maltese in an unhurried 90-minute window so we can take our time — your dog is never kenneled between bath, dry, and haircut, and you'll get before and after photos before pickup.

Standard Maltese grooming at Animal Friends includes a full bath with premium pet-safe shampoo, blow-dry and brush-out, breed-appropriate haircut (scissor or clipper depending on the style you want), ear cleaning, nail trim with optional dremel grind, sanitary trim, and a complimentary nose-to-tail wellness check. Just tell us the length or style you want and we'll take it from there.

Maltese owners across Panama City, Lynn Haven, Panama City Beach, and Bay County trust Animal Friends for regular grooming. If you can't make it in yourself, our Pet Taxi service can pick your Maltese up from home when our Pet Taxi service is running — and FurPlan members save even more on every groom.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a Maltese be groomed?
Most Malteses benefit from professional grooming every 4–6 weeks. Dogs with longer coats or active outdoor lifestyles may need more frequent visits to prevent matting and skin issues.
How much does Maltese grooming cost in Panama City?
Maltese grooming typically ranges from $75 to $147 depending on coat condition, size, and the style you want. Our FurPlan membership starting at $48.88/month includes 2 free baths and 50% off all haircuts — usually the cheapest option for regular Maltese grooming.
Do you know the breed-standard cut for a Maltese?
Yes. Our groomers are trained in traditional breed cuts for every common breed, and we can also do pet trims, teddy-bear cuts, or custom styles. Just tell us what look you want and bring a photo if you have a specific reference.
What do I need to bring to my Maltese's first grooming appointment?
Current rabies and distemper vaccination records, any special shampoo if your dog has a skin condition, and (optional) a photo of the haircut style you want. That's it — we handle the rest.
My Maltese hates grooming. Can you still handle them?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience with nervous, anxious, and difficult dogs. We work at your dog's pace, use positive reinforcement and treats, and we'll honestly tell you if your dog isn't handling the groom well rather than forcing it. Most anxious dogs do great with us after 2-3 visits.
