Corgis have been one of the most popular dogs in the past two years. Their popularity is comparable to Golden Retrievers and Poodles. Thus, many people choose corgis as their pets. However, corgi puppies are very fragile and there are many issues to pay attention to during the raising process. So how to raise a corgi puppy? Let's take a look with the editor below.

How to Raise a Corgi Puppy One: Dog Cage

On the first night after bringing them home, place the dog cage not far from the bedroom so that the little corgi can see and hear the owner's voice. Also, place one or two old clothes of your own that you no longer use inside the cage. Put a small night light where the corgi sleeps to increase the puppy's sense of security. Otherwise, the little corgi will bark or whimper all night long.

How to Raise a Corgi Puppy Two: Dog Toilet

Prepare the dog toilet in advance, buy defecation inducement agent, or put some of the corgi puppy's urine on old newspapers in the dog toilet. Observe if the little corgi circles and sniffs the ground, it will come to the dog toilet. If it obediently uses the toilet, be sure to reward with petting and small treats to encourage this behavior which will make the owner happy. Once familiar with the location of the dog toilet, do not easily move it. After forming the corgi puppy’s conditional reflex, the home will be much cleaner and more comfortable.

How to Raise a Corgi Puppy Three: Feeding

Do not change dog food within half a month after bringing the puppy home. Prepare in advance and also add goat milk powder, probiotics (intestinal health supplement). If possible, prepare special calcium tablets and trace elements. The puppy’s stomach is very fragile. When feeding 3-4 meals a day, add one pack of intestinal supplement overall per day. For working people who have no time to feed at noon, feed one meal before leaving in the morning, one meal after returning in the afternoon, and one meal before sleeping at night. Before the puppy is 4 months old, soak the dog food in warm water for about 15 minutes until softened before feeding the little corgi, otherwise stomach problems may occur. Before taking the little corgi outside, be sure to complete three vaccine shots and one rabies vaccine shot at the times prescribed by the vet. Also, do regular deworming. The little corgi can only be bathed three days to one week after vaccination.

How to Raise a Corgi Puppy Four: Vaccination

One week after completing all the vaccinations, you can take the puppy outside for a walk. It is recommended to initially familiarize them with the environment in a small area within the residential compound, with walks under half an hour each time to avoid overloading the puppy’s legs. Because corgi bones are not yet fully developed and strong when young, avoid excessive stair climbing to prevent joint problems in old age. Grass often contains many mosquitoes and insects, especially be careful of ticks.
