Caring in Malaysia

  • Malaysian homes often use air-conditioning or fans; keep a cool, quiet resting area.
  • Humidity can make grooming and skin checks more important; brush weekly.
  • Apartment living suits this calm breed, but provide vertical space and daily play.

For health concerns, consult a licensed veterinarian in Malaysia.
