To prevent intervertebral disc disease in Corgis, it is important to keep them at a healthy weight, as obesity can put extra strain on the discs in their spine. Regular exercise, such as walks and playtime, can also help maintain a healthy weight and improve muscle tone to support the spine. Avoiding activities that involve jumping or excessive twisting of the spine, such as agility training, can also help prevent injury to the discs. Additionally, providing a comfortable and supportive environment for your Corgi to rest and sleep in can help prevent injury to the discs. Consult with your vet to help you develop a plan that works best for your Corgi.
