Taking care of a
Corgi puppy involves meeting their physical, mental, and emotional needs as
they grow. Here's a basic guide:
1. Nutrition
· High-quality puppy food: Choose a brand formulated for small to medium breeds.
· Feeding schedule: 3–4 meals a day until about 6 months, then reduce to 2
meals/day.
· Fresh water: Always provide clean water.
2. Health Care
· Vet visits: Start with a vet checkup, vaccinations, and deworming.
· Vaccinations: Follow your vet’s recommended schedule.
· Flea/tick & heartworm prevention: Begin as directed by your vet.
3. Training & Socialization
· Start early: Begin basic commands like sit, stay, and come.
· Positive reinforcement: Use treats and praise.
· Socialize: Expose them to people, other dogs, and different environments.
4. Exercise
· Daily activity: Corgis are energetic and need regular play and short walks.
· Avoid overexertion: Their joints are still developing—no long runs or stairs early
on.
5. Grooming
· Brush regularly: They shed a lot; brush 2–3 times a week.
· Bathing: Only when needed, about once a month.
· Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care: Maintain these regularly.
6. Crate & House Training
· Crate training: Helps with housebreaking and gives a safe space.
· Potty training: Be consistent, patient, and reward good behavior.
7. Mental Stimulation
· Toys: Use puzzle toys
and chew toys to keep their brain active.
· Games: Teach tricks and play
interactive games.
