Grooming Your Havanese

Whether you show or not your Havanese will need to be Groomed Bathed and Nails, Ears and Foot Pads maintained.

I’ve put this into several sections – Click on the link to go to each section.  Not all sections completed yet.

Grooming time and coat loss:

It will depend on how rough your dog plays and whether they are in bushes, mud, twigs etc, but for the show dog this has been my experience with a full coated dog going through coat changes

  • Brush your dog every day it takes you 10 minutes. 
  • Brush every two days about 20 minutes, you will do some de-matting and lose a little coat, primarily undercoat
  • Three days can take 45 minutes more mats and coat loss – undercoat but also expect to lose ear coat due to mats and some top coat
  • Once a week can take an hour to 1 1/2 hour, you will lose undercoat and have some very large mats to deal with and start to get breakage on top coat
