How to Raise and Care for a Welsh Corgi: Methods and Precautions

The daily feed should contain 200-250 grams of meat and an equal amount of vegetarian food. For the vegetarian portion, various coarse grains, vegetables, carrots, etc. can be used. The varieties should be changed regularly to ensure comprehensive nutrition.

The amount of food fed each day should be moderate; too much or too little is detrimental to healthy growth.

Although this dog's coat is somewhat coarse and not very long, it should still be combed and brushed regularly to keep it clean and attractive. It should also be bathed regularly, its earwax and dental tartar cleaned, its eyes washed with warm water (boiled), and its claws trimmed. Cardigan Welsh Corgis are very prone to eye diseases, so their eyes should be washed with 2% boric acid water every 3-5 days to prevent eye diseases from occurring.

The dog kennel should be chosen in a place that is sheltered from the wind, clean and dry, and should be disinfected once every half a month or one month.

Because this dog was originally a herding dog and is lively and active by nature, it should not always be kept indoors; instead, it should be given appropriate time for outdoor activity to maintain its healthy and active characteristics.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis like to fight with others of their own kind. Therefore, training and discipline must begin from the puppy stage to make it break this bad habit and get along harmoniously with other dogs.

At the same time, it should also be trained not to use its teeth and claws to tear at clothing, curtains, sofas, bed sheets, quilts and other items in the home, and trained to love cleanliness and hygiene, not let dirt cling to its body, not lie around on ground with mud, and especially to relieve itself in designated places. Ordinarily, attention should often be paid to observing whether the dog shows abnormal signs such as listlessness, decreased appetite, unformed changes in stool, or a dry or hot nose pad. Once illness is found, it should be treated promptly as early as possible to avoid a minor illness turning into a serious one.
