It is advisable nevertheless to supervise its kneecaps, to prevent any risk of luxation, and its teeth, in order to avoid tartar and plaque. Those are the principal points for which it is necessary to pay attention, as with most small dogs.

It is necessary to protect your Havanese from cold and moisture.
