Introduction

Grooming your Havanese can be a difficult task. Their hair is long, thick and prone to tangles and mats. However, if you have the right tools (and practice), grooming your dog can be a breeze. Here are some tips on how best to groom your Havanese at home while keeping them looking their best:

Start with a clean coat.

Use a brush with a long handle to remove any tangles.
Use a comb to remove any tangles, if needed.
If you are going to bathe your dog, do so now! The water will loosen the undercoat and make it easier for you to remove dead hair with your shedding tool later on in this process.
Brush out the fur gently from head to tail until all loose hairs are gone (you may wish to use an anti-fungal powder during this step).

Brush out your dog’s coat.

Your Havanese’s coat should be brushed out every day. When you brush your dog, you are not only removing loose hair but also helping to distribute natural oils throughout their skin and coat. This will help keep them looking healthy and shiny!

Brush in the direction of hair growth using a small bristle brush (the kind you would use on yourself). Start at the base of their neck and work your way down towards their tail end, making sure to cover all areas including underarms and legs as well as around ears if needed (but avoid getting inside). You may also want to invest in a pin brush specifically designed for grooming dogs’ coats; this tool helps remove more dirt than traditional brushes do while still being gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin areas such as eyes or noses

Use a slicker brush to remove any mats or tangles in their hair.

An important grooming tool for Havanese owners is the slicker brush. This brush removes any mats or tangles in your dog’s fur and helps keep it clean and shiny.

Always use a gentle hand when brushing your Havanese, however; if you use too much force with this type of brush (or any other kind), it can cause damage to their skin.

Use a deShedding tool for loose, undercoat hair.

To remove loose hair, you can use a deShedding tool. These tools are designed to remove undercoat hair as well as dead skin cells, which can help your dog’s coat look healthier and shinier. You can find them at most pet stores and online retailers like Amazon or Chewy.com.

If you have an Havanese that needs regular grooming, we recommend using one of these products once every three months or so (depending on how much they shed). To use it correctly:

Start at the base of your dog’s tail and work your way up towards his head in small sections until you’ve covered all of his back legs and chest area completely with short strokes.* Then do the same thing again on each side of their body until every inch has been touched by your fingers!

Use an anti-fungal powder on areas that are prone to yeast-related skin infections if needed.

If your Havanese has a history of yeast-related skin infections, you may want to consider using an anti-fungal powder. Anti-fungal powders are available from your vet’s office or pet supply store and can be applied just like any other powder. You should apply it once or twice a week at first, then gradually reduce the frequency as needed.

Similarly, if you find that your dog tends to get ringworm (a fungal infection), use an anti-fungal cream on his skin instead of the powder form so that it penetrates deeper into his coat.

Take your dog to the groomer once a year if necessary.

Grooming your Havanese can be tricky but with the right tools and techniques, you can do it yourself like a pro!

Use grooming products designed for dogs.
Brush your Havanese regularly (at least once per week) with a pin brush or slicker brush to maintain healthy skin and fur.
Bathe your dog when necessary using dog shampoo made specifically for their breed, such as those from [Brand]. If you don’t want to bathe them yourself, ask your veterinarian or local pet store if they offer grooming services where they’ll wash and dry your pet while you watch from afar in awe at how good they look afterwards!
