How can I take good care of my Corgi?
Nutrition
Corgi puppies and dogs tend to overeat, so it is important to closely monitor your dog’s consumption to prevent it from becoming obese. Measure its food and avoid giving it too many treats. It is recommended to feed it ¾ to 1.5 cups of high-quality dry dog food daily, divided into two meals.
Grooming
It is suggested to brush your Corgi three times a week and bathe it once a month. During shedding season, however, it is recommended to brush it daily and bathe it regularly.
Avoid tartar buildup and gum disease by brushing your dog’s teeth at least twice a week. Prevent painful tears by trimming its nails once or twice monthly. Reduce the risk of infection by checking its eyes for redness or discharge.
Recommended Grooming Tips
It is important to check your dog’s ears weekly for redness and bad odour as these are signs of an infection.
Allow your Corgi to get used to being groomed and examined at an early age. This way, your dog will be easier to handle when it becomes an adult.
When grooming your Corgi, make it a habit to also check for rashes, sores, and other signs of infection or inflammation.
Exercise
This dog is surprisingly strong and full of energy. To maintain its physical and mental health, moderate daily exercise is suggested. Take your Corgi on a long walk, slow jog, or scenic hike. Remember that it likes to stay busy and engage in different activities.
Training
Corgi puppies are eager to learn and easy to train. But like all breeds, early socialisation is needed to help them develop into a well-rounded adult. It is recommended to expose them to people, things, sounds, and places as early as two months.
While these dogs are intelligent and respond well to training, they can be very independent. Added patience is needed as they like to do things in their own time. Treats and lots of positive reinforcement are great motivators when training them.
Corgis love to be taught new things and can easily learn new tricks even as an adult. They adapt well to canine sports, making them suitable for competitions.
This is basic information, and it should not be used to make adoption or purchasing decisions. Be sure to consult an expert if you’d like to learn about the breed’s care and requirements.
