Best Dog Food for Havanese — Nutrition That Matches the Breed
The Havanese's silky coat and sometimes-sensitive digestion call for clean, omega-rich, highly digestible food. Freeze-dried raw with no fillers or synthetic premix.
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. Real salmon oil supports coat health and shine.
Food Sensitivities
A breed that can develop allergies and sensitivities. Single-protein, allergen-free food reduces triggers.
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 real salmon oil.
The breed can also develop food sensitivities and benefits from highly digestible nutrition. A clean, single-protein, allergen-free diet supports digestive comfort and reduces the risk of the skin and coat issues that food sensitivities can cause. The clean, starch-free profile also supports dental health in this small breed.

Loyal Saints was built because of one dog's transformation. King — Kristina Voltin's dog — developed chronic digestive issues and food allergies eating processed food. She formulated a human-grade, whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet and King's health transformed. 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 real salmon 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 roughly ⅓–½ cup of rehydrated Loyal Saints daily, 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, allergen-free diet removes the most common triggers. Loyal Saints contains none of these common allergens in any formula.
