Maltese/Shih Tzu (Mal-Shi)
The Maltese side of a Mal-Shi is very sweet-natured, highly intelligent with an energetic personality. The Shih Tzu side is very loyal, tranquil and relatively quiet. Both breeds are good with children, but there should be supervision, especially in the beginning, to be sure that the children are treating their new pet with respect Learn More
Maltese
Maltese are gentle, loving, obedient and well-mannered creatures that love attention and affection and know how to return to favor. However, Maltese have a fearless energy that makes them slightly more of a handful than your typical, docile lapdog. They love to run around in the yard, play chase and hop around in mud puddles. But, when playtime is over, they are superb cuddlers. Learn More

Treats

Puppies and grown dogs alike love to chew. Many "discount store" dog treats contain dangerous chemicals that can affect your dog's health. At mini-critters, we stick with healthy chews that are safe for your dog, and often last longer! Pick one that fits your dog's size and strength level...in other words, the bigger the dog, the bigger the treat, and vice-versa.

Toys

Dogs love to play and we have the toys they love. We have rubber toys that are strong enough to chew and play rough or to play interactively. We especially like the KONG toys that are hollow and you can put a treat inside and keep your dog busy for a long time.

Coats and Weather Gear

Some breeds don't do well in our cold northern weather, so mini-critters carries a wide selection of coats and boots and just about any kind of clothing your dog could need.

Kennels and Travel Carriers

We have many types of dog kennels in various sizes, including wire cages, plastic travel crates and fold-up models. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Ask us and we'll help you pick out the right one for your dog.

Beds

Many dogs end up sleeping at the foot, or on the bed of their masters...or adopting a favorite chair or spot on the couch. Sometimes you just need a little extra space...and your dog deserves a place it can call it's own. We've got the perfect bed, no matter if your dog is as small as a mouse or as big as a house!
