Corgi Grooming: Shedding, Costs & Coat Care

Corgis have a short-to-medium double coat that sheds a lot — famously so. They don't need haircuts, but they need regular brushing and professional deshedding to keep the fur under control.

How often

A professional bath and deshedding every 6–10 weeks, ramping up during the twice-yearly "coat blow." Brush at home 2–3 times a week year-round.

Typical cost

Expect $50–$85 for a bath, high-velocity blow-out, deshedding, nails, and ears. Corgis are small-to-medium, so they're moderately priced, but the dense undercoat takes time to clear.

Skip the shave-down

Like other double-coated breeds, Corgis shouldn't be shaved — the coat insulates and protects the skin, and shaving can cause patchy regrowth. Thorough deshedding is what actually cuts down on the fur around your house.

Owner tips

An undercoat rake plus a slicker brush is your best friend during shedding season. A groomer's high-velocity dryer pulls out an impressive amount of loose coat in one visit. Keep the nails short and the sanitary area tidy between grooms.
