Recommended food
Super-premium kibble with high meat content (≥40%), grain-free or whole grain. Reference brands: Orijen, Acana, Taste of the Wild, Eukanuba.
Budget alternative
On a tight budget, Advance, Purina Pro Plan or Nutro Wholesome offer mid-high quality at reasonable prices. Avoid brands with grains as first ingredient.
Nutrition
Nutrition for a Corgi is a balancing act where 'lean' is the goal. For an adult weighing 12kg, approximately 180-220g of high-quality dry food is standard, but you must measure every gram. Use low-calorie treats like carrots or green beans for training. Because of their back issues, obesity is a death sentence for their mobility. I recommend food enriched with Glucosamine and Chondroitin to support joint health. Split their daily intake into two meals to prevent bloat and maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.
