How Do You Care For A Pembroke Welsh Corgi?
Pembroke Welshi Corgis expect nothing less than the “royal treatment” — well, Queen Elizabeth’s Corgis anyway. The rest of the Corgis also need some tending to. Although they have an average life expectancy of 11 to 13 years (and can live up to 15 years) — there are several things to know about these little guys and gals to keep them healthy. Spay or neuter your Corgi for a longer, healthier life. Spaying your female before the first heat period will prevent breast cancer and help eliminate uterine infections. Neutering your male before age 4 will eliminate the chance of testicular cancer, help reduce the risk of prostate problems and curb aggression. Take your Corgi for regular medical checkups. You can also perform a monthly home exam of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, teeth and gums. Stay up to date on your Corgi’s vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. Have your Corgi’s teeth cleaned and scaled professionally on a regular basis. Ask a trained professional or veterinaria
