I've used raw/frozen green beans since they still have the benefits of the vegetable and not as much, if any, presevAtives like canned. Also, I'd cut back on the food. A regular food at a low rate seems to keep these corgis fit and at good weight. My coming 10 yr old male gets 3/4 a day. He also gets to run and play, some treats and he usually always has something to naw on.<br />

You'll figure it out! It took me a while but I finally found foods that work and keep a healthy dog!

<p>I have been adding pumpkin, peas and/or green beans to Sully's dog food to try to resolve issues with constipation and impacted anal gland problems.

<p>i suspect i have the only corgi that doesn't like vegetables. i tried to give linus green beans (canned, no sodium) with his dinner and he picked the beans out one by one and dropped them next to his bowl, then he ate his kibble. he also won't eat carrots, bananas or watermelon. he'll lick these things and chase them around the floor, but will not chew and swallow.</p>

<p>Shanna....maybe that's why neither Max or Katie have had any problems in that area. Both have been eating beans for 6 years for Max and 5 years for Katie.</p>

<p>Max was horribly obese when we got him..he was 5 yo and was 54 lbs. Pot belly pig with a corgi head was an apt description of him.

<p>Max was horribly obese when we got him..he was 5 yo and was 54 lbs. Pot belly pig with a corgi head was an apt description of him. I got the weight off him using the same diet I use today with a lot of exercise. Katie's weight was fine when we got her and have kept it that way. I did use Pedigree Weight Control but in the winter with less exercise...I hate the cold...he always put a few pounds on. Since I switched them to Blue Buffalo Healthy Weight he doesn't gain in the winter like he use to. He has been staying at 35 lbs which is good for him...he is one of those big boned corgis with paws that are as big as my hand.</p> Chewey gets 1/2 cup of kibble…tag:mycorgi.com,2013-10-11:1150197:Comment:18082592013-10-11T22:40:48.133ZDianehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/DianeW
<p>Chewey gets 1/2 cup of kibble twice a day... for dinner I usually just add a little bit of whatever fresh vegies we are eating (green beans, sweet potato, carrots, etc.), just for a bit of extra variety/fiber/fill. So far the only thing I've ever seen him turn down are fresh greens (lettuce, spinach, etc), unless of course I accidentally drop some that has dressing on it... then he's all over it. He typically weighs between 29-30 lbs which seems about right for his build.</p>
