Havanese Pet Insurance

Havanese are small dogs who are very popular with small dog breed owners. These dogs are playful and very affectionate, making them great for families or single people. These dogs love attention. With their hair constantly growing, they will need frequent grooming and haircuts to keep their hair from matting. 

Common Health Issues In Havanese

Most Havanese are very healthy. Some of the few genetic and health conditions that could be seen in Havanese are:

• Patella Luxation: Many small breed dogs have luxating patellas. This occurs when their knee caps pop in and out of place. It can cause your dog to need surgery to help keep their knee caps in place and prevent arthritis.

• Broken Legs: They are small in size, and you will need to keep an eye on them to help keep them out of danger. These dogs can easily break a leg or injury themselves running and playing. 

• Ear Infections: Havanese are known for having ear infections. Their floppy ears will trap moisture causing your dog to develop an infection easily. This can require frequent vet visits and treatment to help keep their ears free of infection.

These issues will need constant care and monitoring to help keep your Havanese healthy and happy. If you notice anything wrong with your Havanese, they should see a vet right away. Some issues can be life-threatening.
