Care
Regular grooming will keep your Cardigan Welsh Corgis looking their best. A good brushing at least once per week removes cast-off hair and minimizes shedding. During spring and summer—when these dogs are shedding more than usual—regular baths and daily brushing with an undercoat rake will help loosen excess hair.
Trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing teeth should also be part of every dog’s grooming routine, regardless of breed.
