Coat Care Equipment<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nA soft pin brush is the most useful for grooming a Havanese coat. A bristle brush can be more comfortable for a baby puppy. As the coat grows, though, the pin brush will work better. A slicker brush, with shorter tines, is useful for grooming the feet. You will also need a metal comb.<\/p>\n
A flea comb is handy to remove the matter from the corners of the eyes. You might try several dog shampoos before you find the one that works best for your dog.<\/p>\n
A dog coat conditioner used after his bath will make his coat easier to groom. A protein conditioner strengthens damaged hair. A spray bottle of water to which some conditioner has been added can be sprayed onto the coat when you brush your dog between baths.<\/p>\n
If you keep your Havanese’s coat full length, consider investing in a blow-dryer especially made for use with dogs, which uses less-intense heat than the human version. Stands are available to target the hair dryer so you can brush while the coat is being blown dry.<\/p>\n
Other grooming products:<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n
Special ear cleaning products or witch hazel can be used with cotton balls and cotton swabs for ear cleaning. Tweezers are used to pull hair growing out of the dog’s ears.<\/p>\n
You will need a pair of scissors if you do any of your own trimming. Rounded or blunt-end scissors are safer to use. Do not use scissors on a dirty dog or you will dull them. An electric clipper is handy if you do your own grooming.<\/p>\n
A tearless baby shampoo can be used to wash your Havanese’s face. Other shampoos can sting his eyes. A tearless shampoo allows you to do a good job and still have the process comfortable for your dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
