The Right Diet To Feed Your Havanese!

Some self-proclaimed “authorities” on Havanese care claim that the only proper or “right” diet for your Havanese is one that recreates as much as possible what the dog’s ancestors might have eaten in the wild. They recommend wild game and an assortment of fruits and vegetables fed to the animal throughout the day. What’s that?
