Are Havana Silk Dogs hard to groom?
If kept in a long coat, you can expect to brush your dog’s coat every 3 or 4 days to keep the mats at bay. Brushing the dog ‘line by line’ all the way to the skin is important. Bathing a dog with a long coat should probably be done every 1 to 2 weeks. Many pet owners chose to keep their dog in a cute puppy clip instead of the long beautiful coats. If you don’t know how to do this, you’ll have to hire a professional groomer for the job about every 3 or 4 months. Silk Dogs are not hard to groom, but depending on what look you want, they can require quite a bit of time for upkeep. If the idea of brushing a dog does not appeal to you, then a Havana Silk Dog is probably NOT the right breed for you.
