Havanese Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Havanese at Home
Grooming a Havanese at home can be simple once you understand their coat and have the right tools to hand. Havanese dogs have a long, silky coat that can tangle easily, especially around the ears, armpits and tail. Regular grooming keeps their coat soft and healthy and also prevents painful mats from forming.
Whether you are new to grooming or have trimmed your dog before, using safe and reliable clippers will make the experience smoother for both you and your Havanese. Masterclip clippers are designed to run quietly and feel comfortable in your hand, which helps keep nervous dogs calm during grooming.
How Often Should You Groom a Havanese
A good grooming routine helps maintain that signature flowing Havanese coat. We recommend:
• Brushing several times per week
• A full groom every 6 to 8 weeks
This prevents tangles from building up and keeps the coat clean, manageable and looking its best.
Basic Grooming Steps for Havanese
• Begin by brushing the entire coat to loosen knots
• Use quiet dog clippers along the body and the more delicate areas
• Trim around the face, ears and paws with grooming scissors for a neat finish
Keeping the coat clean and tangle free makes grooming sessions shorter and far more comfortable for your dog.
Best Dog Clippers for Havanese
Because Havanese coats are fine, soft and can vary from slightly wavy to straight, choosing the right clipper can make a big difference. A high quality clipper helps you achieve a smooth finish while avoiding snagging or pulling on the coat.
Masterclip clippers are trusted by both professional groomers and owners who prefer to groom at home. Each clipper is tested for comfort, ease of use and coat compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How short should I clip my Havanese
Many owners prefer to keep their Havanese in a tidy puppy cut. This keeps the coat manageable while still looking natural. A longer length blade or comb attachment gives a soft finish without removing too much coat.
Can a Havanese be fully shaved
It is not recommended to shave a Havanese to the skin. Their coat protects them from heat and irritation. Instead, opt for a moderate trim that keeps them cool and easy to maintain.
How do I stop my Havanese getting mats
Regular brushing and using the right tools is the key. Focus on high friction areas like armpits, behind the ears and the tail. Keeping up with 6 to 8 week grooming sessions will prevent mats from forming.
Which clipper blade is best for a Havanese
Most owners use longer blades or comb attachments for a natural look. For sensitive areas like the belly or paws you can choose a shorter blade for tidy results.
