Puppy-proof your home by removing potential hazards, securing electrical cords, and keeping toxic substances out of reach.

Your puppy has been on chicken and rice puppy food. When they leave they can be switched to a quality adult food. The food you select must contain grains for optimal health. We recommend staying away from dog foods that contain corn as this has been known to cause skin allergy issues.

Divide daily meals into 2-3 feedings to prevent overeating and aid digestion.

Here are a few brands we recommend: Kirkland chicken and rice adult, Kirkland Lamb and rice adult

Start house training immediately and be consistent with a regular schedule for potty breaks.

Corgis are an active breed. Provide daily exercise through play, walks, and interactive toys.

No stairs or jumping (in and out of cars, on and off furniture) or strenuous exercise until they are one year old, this could cause joint damage as they are still growing and developing.
