A Maltese through a Lansing year
Lansing's winter is the main event on a Maltese calendar.
On about 54 days a year the normal low falls below 20°F, and January runs from a high of 31°F down to a low of 17°F, so cold-month walks tend to be quick loops along Clippert St before everyone heads back inside to thaw. The thaw is worth the wait. May arrives with highs of 69°F, and summer stays mild, peaking at 83°F in July, which leaves months for easy outings on the Granger Meadows Park Paved Trail and a full rotation of dog parks at Soldan Dog Park, Larch Park and Northern Tail Dog Park. Granger Meadows Sledding Hill Park makes a fine summer sniffing ground too, with no sleds in sight. By the time fall comes back around, your Maltese will know every route by nose, and the first frosty morning will get a long, skeptical look from the doorway.
Raising a Maltese puppy in Lansing
Lansing gives a new Maltese plenty to meet, and the work starts the day your puppy arrives, since the first 3 months are the most important for socialization.
Most Maltese are friendly and open with new people, which suits the daily plan of a few short, happy introductions, a friendly visitor here, a calm dog or a car ride there. The potty schedule is simple to remember: outside first thing in the morning, after every nap and last thing at night, with praise each time it works, and the gaps between trips stretch a little each week while the after-nap trip stays put. Food comes in small, frequent meals, and between play sessions your puppy rests somewhere warm. Petco Dog Training, Off Leash K9 Training Lansing and Dog Gone Fun, LLC all offer puppy classes, which can begin as early as 7–8 weeks provided your puppy stays away from sick dogs. Around the house, short spells alone in a safe spot make being apart feel normal, a small rotation of safe chew toys keeps things interesting, and tooth brushing starts gently now so it becomes routine.

Getting your Maltese puppy to Lansing
From the breeder's arms to yours
Your Maltese can come home to Lansing five ways, and your Travel Concierge plans the trip with you.
Meet your breeder and your puppy at a public place near them, a date and spot your Travel Concierge sets up with both of you.
Your breeder (or their nanny) brings the puppy to a nearby public spot, typically their closest airport, police or fire station.
An approved ground partner drives your puppy to the address nearest you in a climate-controlled cabin.
Airlines fly puppies in cargo only when it's between 45°F and 85°F at every airport on the route; in Lansing the normal low falls below 20°F on about 54 days a year, so a winter flight sometimes waits for a milder one.
A flight nanny, usually an off-duty flight attendant, carries your puppy in the cabin from the breeder's arms to yours, same day.
- 1You reserve your Maltese and choose how it travels.
- 2The breeder's vet examines your puppy 3 to 5 days before it leaves; the health certificate and the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, required by law for interstate travel, are included.
- 3Most puppies are home in one to three weeks, and your own vet sees yours within 72 hours of arrival.
Before your Maltese puppy comes home
A little paperwork, a lot of love
The nearest 24-hour emergency vet is Michigan State University Veterinary Medical Center in East Lansing, about 5 miles from Lansing.
The rabies vaccine protects your puppy against rabies, and Michigan requires it by 4 months of age. A licensed vet gives it on the schedule Michigan requires. Keep the rabies certificate the vet gives you; the rules for bringing a dog into Michigan ask for it.
Most places require you to license your dog, and Michigan is one of them. A dog license is a registration with your county. It matters for two reasons: it's how a lost dog gets matched back to you, and it funds the animal-control service that would pick your dog up. Michigan requires it once a dog is 4 months old, which is about the time your puppy finishes its first vaccines. Apply through the county treasurer or, where provided, the township or city treasurer.
Take your puppy to your own vet within 72 hours of arrival.
Only with Pawrade, you receive a pet insurance policy with no waiting period included for immediate accident or illness coverage, 1 month, with every puppy.†
