Senior Havanese care is not about giving up when the dog slows down. It is about adapting daily routines to protect comfort, mobility, dental health, appetite, senses, coat care, emotional security, and quality of life.

In Episode 8 of the Havanese Health Academy, we explore how to care for an older Havanese as this cheerful Cuban companion begins to age.

You’ll learn why slowing down should not always be dismissed as “just old age,” why dental pain can affect eating and behaviour, how to support mobility with ramps, traction, shorter walks, and safer furniture routines, and why vision, hearing, skin, coat, cognition, barking, house-training changes, appetite, weight, and muscle all deserve careful observation.

This episode helps owners keep the senior Havanese comfortable, dignified, included, and close through the later years of life.

Adult preventive care for a Havanese is not just one vet visit a year. It is a calm routine built around teeth, coat, weight, eyes, ears, skin, movement, behaviour, records, and veterinary partnership.

In Episode 7 of the Havanese Health Academy, we explore how to keep an adult Havanese healthy through everyday observation and consistent care.

You’ll learn why dental prevention is so important in this breed, how grooming becomes a health inspection, why body condition should be checked beneath the coat, how to monitor eyes, tear staining, ears, skin, itching, movement, patella awareness, barking, alone-time behaviour, appetite, and weight, and why good records help owners notice patterns earlier.

This episode turns everything from puppyhood, nutrition, exercise, health problems, and behaviour into a practical adult care system designed to protect comfort before small issues become bigger problems.
