How can Corgi spend the summer if he's afraid of the heat?

Corgis are indeed sensitive to hot weather because their short bodies and thick hair make them prone to overheating. Here are some tips to help your Corgi stay cool and comfortable during the summer:

1. Provide a suitable indoor environment: Make sure to provide a cool and ventilated environment in your home, using air conditioners or fans to lower room temperature. On hot days, try not to expose your Corgi to the sun for long periods of time, especially at noon when the sun is strongest.

2. Provide plenty of cool water: Keep your Corgi’s drinking water sufficient and provide cool fresh water at any time. Consider adding some ice cubes to the water bowl to keep the water cool.

3. Avoid outdoor activities under the scorching sun and high temperatures: In hot weather, try to reduce the time your Corgi spends outdoors under the scorching sun. Choose to walk in the morning or evening, when temperatures are cooler.

4. Cool resting area: Provide a cool resting area for Corgis, which can be laid out with mats or cool flooring materials. Avoid placing the mattress in direct sunlight.

5. Consider trimming the hair: If the hair is too long or too dense, consider trimming the corgi to an appropriate length to help them dissipate and cool down. But be careful not to trim your hair too short, which can expose your skin to the sun.

6. Cool water therapy activities: Provide your Corgi with cool water therapy activities, such as playing in an indoor bathtub or wading pool. This helps them cool down and beat the heat.

7. Pay attention to body temperature changes and signs of warming up: Pay close attention to body temperature changes and signs of discomfort in your Corgi, such as continued panting, listlessness, rolling on the ground, etc. This may be a sign of overheating. If these symptoms occur, take immediate steps to help them cool down, such as wiping your body with a wet towel or going to an air-conditioned room.

It is important to always keep an eye on your Corgi and understand their comfort level. If you have any concerns about heat stress or other health issues in your Corgi, please consult your veterinarian for professional advice.
