How To Groom Havanese

by ABK Grooming

Havanese are small, curious, and have many admirers for their long, silky hair, expressive eyes, and cute size. They are nicknamed “Velcro dog” because they stick close to their owner’s side. They adore their humans and don’t handle being separated from their owners very well. So, make sure your floof has a constant companion. Regular grooming is necessary to keep them in perfect condition.

Havanese requires routine bathing and grooming. They have a double coat which needs to be bathed every week. Try to brush your dog daily. To brush, lightly spray one area of your dog’s coat with a fine mist sprayer. After that’s done, start brushing. Be sure you get all the way to the skin because mats form near the skin. For fur care, buy our Fur Care Glove, it’s suitable for sensitive animals. It frees the coat from dead hair & dust. Give the coat a silky shine. It also massages the skin and stimulates blood circulation.
