These nutrient-rich alternatives can provide additional vitamins, minerals, and fiber to the diet.
Before bringing in your new Havanese, take some time to get your home ready. First, puppy proof the area your Havanese will reside in. Remove all items that may be choking hazards or other items your pup may destroy. Ensure the area has plenty of soft, comfortable, chew-proof bedding. Next, create an area that is quiet and out of the way where your pup can retreat to if feeling overwhelmed. Lastly, gather the essentials like food, toys, treats, collar, and leash.
