Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature is too hot for a Corgi?▾
Corgis start struggling at 80°F. Above that, keep walks short (20 minutes max), bring water, and stick to grass. Above 95°F, it's dangerous — potty breaks only.
What temperature is too cold for a Corgi?▾
Corgis need protection below 20°F. Limit walks to 35 minutes and use a coat or sweater. Below 5°F, keep outdoor time to a minimum.
How long can a Corgi walk in hot weather?▾
At 80°F, limit walks to 20 minutes. For every 5°F above that, reduce by about 5 minutes. Walk before 8am or after 8pm when pavement has cooled.
When is it too hot for a Corgi to walk on pavement?▾
Pavement burns start at about 125°F surface temperature, which happens when air temperature reaches roughly 75°F in direct sun. Use the temperature checker above to see estimated ground temps at any temperature.
Do Corgis need a coat in winter?▾
Corgis have a thick double coat built for Welsh weather — they handle cold well down to about 20°F. Their coat sheds heavily twice a year. Never shave it. In heat, their double coat works against them — they overheat around 80°F.
