Consideraciones de Salud
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 12-15 years, but like all breeds, they are prone to certain health issues. Common concerns include hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, and intervertebral disc disease due to their long spine and short legs. Eye conditions such as progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and cataracts may also occur. Obesity is another significant concern, as it can exacerbate joint and spinal problems. Regular veterinary checkups, a balanced diet, and maintaining an ideal weight are crucial for their long-term health. Genetic testing for potential hereditary conditions and early screening for hip and eye issues are recommended for breeders and owners. Preventive care, including vaccinations, dental hygiene, and flea/tick prevention, is essential for keeping them healthy.
