The Havanese coat is soft and silky in texture. Wavy or with a light curl, the topcoat is profuse, with an undercoat beneath. Daily brushing is needed to keep the coat tangle-free.  This is a breed who will need regular dog bathing and full brush-outs so get them used to spending time on a grooming table and in the bath from puppyhood. Professional grooming may be needed from time to time but this breed’s coat needs such regular attention that it won’t be practical for a professional to do all of the work. Check paws and ears daily for grass seeds and other foreign bodies. You can find out more about dog grooming and daily care with our article.
