What Havanese need most from their food
The Havanese’s long silky coat and small frame shape their nutritional priorities:
Coat Quality
The Havanese’s silky, flowing coat depends on dietary protein and omega-3s. Fish oil supports coat health and shine.
Food Sensitivities
A breed that can develop allergies and sensitivities. Single-protein food with no wheat, corn or soy makes a known trigger easier to avoid.
Digestive Health
Sometimes-sensitive digestion benefits from highly digestible, whole-food nutrition.
Dental Health
Small breeds are prone to dental disease. A clean, sugar-free, additive-free diet avoids the starches and fillers that contribute to plaque.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for HavaneseHavanese
The Havanese is known for a long, silky, flowing coat that depends directly on nutritional quality — adequate high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids build coat density, shine, and health. Loyal Saints delivers both through whole-food protein and fish oil.
The breed can also develop food sensitivities and benefits from highly digestible nutrition. A highly digestible, single-protein diet with no wheat, corn or soy supports digestive comfort and makes a known sensitivity easier to avoid. The clean, low-starch profile also supports dental health in this small breed.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Havanese owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Coat quality and digestive comfort are both diet-driven. Removing fillers, common allergens, and synthetic additives supports the silky Havanese coat and a settled stomach.
Frequently Asked Questions
What food is best for a Havanese coat?
Coat quality is built from dietary protein and omega-3s. Turkey + Salmon provides EPA and DHA from fish oil that support the Havanese’s silky coat. Combined with adequate protein, most owners see coat improvement within 4–8 weeks. Regular grooming remains essential for the long coat.
How much should I feed my Havanese?
Havanese typically weigh 7–13 lbs and need about ¾–1⅓ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; ¾–1½ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Monitor body condition and adjust.
Is freeze-dried raw good for a Havanese with a sensitive stomach?
Yes. Single-protein Chicken is highly digestible with no fillers or synthetic additives that commonly trigger upset. Use a 7–10 day transition for sensitive dogs and feed two small meals daily.
Can Havanese develop food allergies?
Yes. Like many small breeds, Havanese can develop food sensitivities — often to wheat, corn, soy, or specific proteins. A single-protein diet with no wheat, corn or soy makes a known trigger easier to avoid. Loyal Saints contains none of these common allergens in any formula.
