Accidental Explosion over at Pet Sense

The YouTube Channel’s latest video series, Pet Sense, started with a bang, literally.

Positioned as an animal-oriented feature program, Pet Sense is a series which highlights a pet/animal communicator who tries to resolve the problems of pet owners and pets, dealing with different unique pet habits, traits and quirks.

Yogi, a Corgi, had a problem with household cleaning products, going nuts with them whenever they’re around. So, pet owner Hali Hudson figured he could do well with some help from Pet Sense, to which the program responded to the positive.

However, Yogi’s earnest penchant for cleaning products got the best of everyone while Hudson was showing Yogi’s “thing” on camera.

Seeing the cleaning products stored under Hudson’s kitchen sink, the Corgi charged into the “fray”, attacking whichever item his jaws could find. Unfortunately, one of those items included a can of spray paint!

Kitchen/household cleaning products + can of spray paint… nuff said.

Puncturing the can, an explosion followed, not only leaving the doggy covered in paint, but following it up with a minor fire. Thankfully, no one including Yogi was harmed after the incident, with the Corgi brought to the vet for further checks.

Comments over the video range from “idiotic” to “stupid”, with most expressing that Hudson should’ve taken steps in ensuring that such products would be difficult for the dog to reach. Hudson, well aware of how things are, has taken the necessary steps in keeping such dangerous household products from Yogi.

The incident was quite an eye-changer, but the Corgi is still adamant in his “thing” for cleaning products. It may not have resolved his “condition”, but hey, at least he’s a-okay.

Taking Care of Corgis

Corgis are amazing, smart and active small sized dogs. Many dog owners who own corgis would say that these dogs are ideal family dog. They are great with kids and love to be kept around people. This dog’s origins are still not known, but many breeders would say that they originated in Wales. It’s unbelievable that these dogs where once used to herd sheep, since they are small. Until now, these dogs are still very active and spend most of their time playing and running around. New corgi owners might have a few questions on how they can take care of their dogs. Below are a few basic caring tips for these dogs.

Grooming

When it comes to grooming and keeping a corgi clean, it’s best to give it a bath once or twice a week. Don’t bath them all the time because this will strip their fur of their natural hair. They have double coats. The first layer is usually quite dense, slightly rough in touch and has medium length. As for its undercoat, it’s soft, short and thick. Use a shampoo of medium haired dogs and brush them regularly to keep their shedding fur off the couch or carpet. If problems like ticks and fleas arise, medicated shampoo and powder is a big help.

Exercise and Diet

As discussed, corgis are very active. They love to play and run around to make sure these dogs have an open space, like a lawn or a park, which they can play on and explore. Corgis are smart dogs and they have a tendency to be curious about a lot of things. If something is new to them, they usually would check it out. So if these dogs go out, keep an eye on them. Since these dogs have short legs, they might have problems with walking or running around if they are too big. The ideal weight of these dogs is 27 lbs or 12¼ Kg for male dogs and 25 lbs or 11⅓ Kg of female. Making sure that they stick more or less around this weight will help keep pressure of their legs.

Health

Corgis have a very long lifespan. Normally, these dogs can live up to 11 years.  These dogs are technically healthy and do not have a lot of deceases. However, they are known to be prone to  degenerative myelopathy, which is commonly seen in bigger dogs. Degenerative myelopathy or dm in dogs is a sickness that attacks the nerves of the dog’s lower body. Dm in dogs is not curable but with proper exercise and a good diet, the symptoms can be lessened and the dog can live a normal life.
