Havanese have a long, silky, low-shedding double coat that keeps growing and tangles easily. Whether you keep it long or in a short puppy cut, they need consistent grooming.
How often
Every 4–6 weeks professionally. A long coat needs near-daily brushing at home; a shorter puppy cut is far more forgiving and is what most pet owners choose.
Typical cost
Expect $55–$90. They're small, but the coat takes time to brush out, dry, and scissor — matting pushes the price up.

Owner tips
Brush and comb to the skin several times a week — the silky coat looks fine on top while mats form underneath. Keep hair trimmed away from the eyes, and dry thoroughly after baths. Booking a regular schedule is far cheaper than paying dematting fees.
