Caring for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi dog breed

Do corgis need to be cut? No way!

Why can't a corgi be cut? One of the biggest features of corgis is their thick and elongated coat. This breed has an undercoat that sheds twice a year and this can lead to significant shedding. Despite this, it is important to understand that corgis do not need a haircut. This can damage the natural structure of their fur and thermal insulation.

Instead, you should brush your corgi regularly, especially during shedding. This will help remove unwanted fur and reduce the amount of it that gets on the furniture and the floor.

Hygiene and bathing of the breed

Generally, corgis do not need frequent bathing unless their coat is very dirty or smelly. The difference between baths helps to maintain the natural balance of the skin and avoid overdrying.

Bathing corgis is recommended only when necessary or on the recommendation of a veterinarian. It is important to use a special shampoo for dogs and to ensure that the dog is well dried after bathing.

Nail care

Claw care is another important aspect of corgi care. Their short legs require attention to the claws as they can grow quickly. Check the condition of your corgi's nails regularly and trim them if necessary.

If the corgi's claws are long, it can lead to walking problems and pain. The best way to do this is to use special clippers to trim your dog's claws, or to have your dog professionally trimmed by a veterinarian or groomer.
