Is a Corgi Right for You?

From Couch Potato to Endurance Runner in a Blink of an Eye

Corgis are a breed known for their lively and energetic personalities, but they can also be surprisingly lazy. In Houston, corgis can thrive in both active and laid-back environments. While they do require regular exercise, such as walks and playtime, they also enjoy lounging and snuggling with their owners. The key to keeping a corgi happy and healthy in Houston is finding a balance between physical activity and relaxation. Regular walks and playtime in Houston's parks and dog-friendly areas can provide the exercise a corgi needs, while cozy naps and movie nights can fulfill their need for downtime. With proper care and attention, corgis can be great pets for both active and laid-back individuals and families in Houston.

What is Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)?

Avoid the DM Trap

First of all, all LeMitri's corgis are DM-free, meaning they will not get the disease. Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) is a genetic, incurable, fatal disease that affects the spinal cord in Corgis, leading to full paralysis of back legs, affecting walking, scratching, going potty etc. It typically affects older Corgis at the age of 9 or older. In the beginning, the disease is manageable with the use of a dog wheelchair. This is so common that the term "Corgi on Wheels" has become very popular, leading to online communities and websites dedicated to affected dogs. All LeMitri's Pembroke Welsh Corgis are genetically tested to make sure that none of our puppies will be affected by Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). All our pups are "Clear by Parentage", and we provide you with a copy of genetic testing results so that you have peace of mind. Learn about it more in our "Corgi DM and its implications" article.

Diet

Corgis have a tendency to overeat and become overweight, which can lead to health problems. In Houston, controlling their diet is important to prevent overfeeding and obesity. Feeding them high-quality dog food, in appropriate portions, and limiting treats can help maintain their weight. Monitoring their food intake and avoiding overfeeding is key to maintaining their health and preventing weight-related issues. Regular visits to the veterinarian can help ensure that your corgi is on a healthy diet and at a healthy weight, even in Houston's heat. By avoiding overfeeding and providing a balanced diet, corgis in Houston can enjoy a happy and healthy life.

Maintenance

Corgis are known for their thick double coat, which sheds heavily, particularly during shedding season, but also year-round. Regular grooming, including brushing their coat at least once a week, is essential to maintain its health and appearance and minimize shedding. In Houston, where the heat can be intense, it's important to take extra care of your corgi's coat by brushing them more frequently and providing plenty of shade and water. Regular bathing and ear cleaning can also help keep your corgi healthy and comfortable. Nail trimming and teeth brushing are also important for their overall health and hygiene. With proper grooming, corgis can thrive in Houston's heat and minimize shedding all year round, making them a happy and healthy addition to any household.
