Dress for the weather
Why Corgis get cold
A Corgi weighs up to 30 lb (14 kg) and has a double, short coat (AKC breed page). At this size a dog keeps its warmth better than a small one, but without a thick undercoat it still feels freezing weather. Puppies, seniors and lean dogs feel the cold even sooner.
