How do Corgis escape the heat in summer?

Summer can indeed be a bit hot for long-haired dogs like Corgis. Here are some tips to help your Corgi beat the heat:

1. Provide a cool environment: Make sure your Corgi has a cool place to escape the hot weather. Provide a cool, ventilated space indoors where you can use air conditioners or fans to regulate the temperature. If outdoors, make sure your corgi has some shade, such as a shade tree or an umbrella.

2. Indoor activities: In hot summer, try to carry out Corgi activities during cooler times, such as morning or evening. Avoid being outside for too long during the hot midday hours. Keep your Corgi active by providing some activity-friendly toys and games indoors.

3. Drinking water and food: Make sure Corgi has fresh water available for drinking at all times. During the summer, corgis may be more susceptible to dehydration due to warmer temperatures, so make sure they are drinking plenty of water. Water can be placed in multiple locations so that it is readily available to your Corgi when needed. At the same time, give Corgi refreshing food, you can choose wet food or food with some added moisture.

4. Avoid hot floors: Hot floors are harmful to Corgi’s paws. In the summer, avoid letting your Corgi walk on hot surfaces, especially in venues under the scorching sun. Try to choose cool grassy areas or avoid walking on surfaces in direct sunlight.

5. Water activities: Corgis are generally interested in water and enjoy swimming. Corgis can be given the opportunity to swim if available and in a safe environment, such as in a small outdoor or indoor swimming pool. Make sure the water is at a suitable depth for your corgi and provide necessary safety measures.

It’s important to closely observe your Corgi’s behavior and reactions. If they appear to be overtired, short of breath, drooling, licking their lips, etc., this may be a sign of heatstroke. Move the Corgi to a cool place promptly, consult a veterinarian, and provide appropriate rescue measures.

In summary, providing Corgis with a cool environment, proper moisture, cool playtime, and indoor activities can help them survive the high temperatures of summer. Please seek veterinary advice in case of any medical or medical condition.
