Very normal for some Corgis...I have both kinds...the ones that don't want to stop eating and the ones that eat very little. I feed TOTW and add about 1/3 cup warm water to Sage's food and Teddy's food. It seems to help. Many people just pick up the food after 15-20 minutes. When I had Wynn and our old Mav I just left food out as neither one ate huge amounts. I would not add anything but maybe try the water. Keep treats to a minimum also.

Thank you for the advice! I tried adding warm water but she still turns her nose up at it and won't eat (even after not eating a whole 24 hours).  I normally don't give her many treats to begin with in hopes of it not spoiling her appetite.

Her growth rate is slowing down and this food may be richer.  I would simply divide what she eats between two meals, eliminating the wet food and adjusting the amount up or down as needed over time.   Warmer weather can also  be a factor. I like my dogs eager to eat....  When they go off their food, I know there is something that needs attention.  I would keep treats to a minimum and make sure she's not eating junk outdoors, as some like to do..  Above all remember that more problems come from overeating than from eating too little.

When I feed her just the one meal a day she will gobble the food up.  When I left out just the dry kibble she still wouldn't eat.  Right when I added the wet food again, she licked her bowl clean.

Emma is almost 10 months now... I feed her about 1 1/4 cup of kibble a day.  Do you think that's about normal?

I would say that is fairly normal. She's still growing.
