How much to feed a 4 months old corgi? - MyCorgi.com2024-03-29T10:34:50Zhttp://mycorgi.com/forum/topics/how-much-to-feed-a-4-months-old-corgi?commentId=1150197%3AComment%3A1568792&feed=yes&xn_auth=noI feed my older corgi 1 cup f…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-07-06:1150197:Comment:15739292012-07-06T21:22:30.783ZLindsey Corkernhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/LindseyAshley
<p>I feed my older corgi 1 cup food per day split into two meals. She is 2 years and 21 lbs. Small for a corgi, but very healthy. Our vet told us that she is at an ideal weight for her size. Leia is a picky eater and will rarely eat the entire cup of food fed to her each day. She #2's twice a day. Leia probably eats about the same amount as your corgi. I might be more inclined to give her more than 2/3 cup at each meal since she is not yet finished growing, but that is just my opinion. Do…</p>

<p>I often wonder whether I feed my DouBao too little.. she is 23 pounds at 7 months age( weighted a month ago...)</p>
<p>--- Currently, 2/3 cup BB a day, divided into 2 meals. But she does get a LOT of other treats from training, since I barely use dry kibble for training, except in the morning and I could get up early to train....She poos three times a day (morning after wake up, afternoon when I come back from work and later in the evening/night when we walk outside after…</p>

<p>I just switched my 4 1/2 month old cardigan to Wellness from BB. I was feeding 2 cups of BB per day since it is slightly lower in fat and protein than other comparable foods. See my What Do You Feed Your Corgi reply a few days ago for more info. </p>

<p>I currently feed him about 1 3/4 cups per day of the Wellness puppy food. He gets lots of quality treats in between during our training sessions and for just being a great dog in general, so I try to account for that when feeding…</p>

<p>I currently feed him about 1 3/4 cups per day of the Wellness puppy food. He gets lots of quality treats in between during our training sessions and for just being a great dog in general, so I try to account for that when feeding him. He always scarfs his food and comes from a long line of big cardigans. He is 20 lbs at 4 1/2 months! My pem was only about 12 - 15 lbs when she was that old! Luke is not overweight either!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Oh - Luke poops 3-4 times a day too! He'll regulate as he gets older and certainly when you switch to adult food.</p> Thank you all for the help!tag:mycorgi.com,2012-07-04:1150197:Comment:15699652012-07-04T00:29:42.866ZWorthington Nataliahttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Natalia

<p>I wouldn't pay any attention to what the bag or an online calorie counter says. For a pup that age I'd just feed 1.5 cups a day and up it if he started looking too scrawny. It's pretty much impossible to "overfeed" a puppy because their metabolism is so fast. And some dogs just poop a lot, there's not much you can do about it lol.</p>

<p>It's definitely true that the recommended portions on kibble bags tend to err into excess. When Ace was still on Acana (a grain-free kibble from the makers of Orijen), the recommended amount was over three times what I ended up feeding him. These premium foods are so nutrient dense that to feed them the listed amount would usually result in too many calories, and a LOT of pooping.</p>

<p>If it helps, at 5 months Ace was eating 1/2 a cup a day of Acana. He was moderately active, but he didn't shed a single pound on such a low amount of food. In between training treats, yogurt and veggies I added to his food, Ace maintained a very sleek profile. I definitely think 2 cups is just way, way too much in comparison.</p> When Juno was eating BB, he p…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-07-02:1150197:Comment:15688062012-07-02T03:56:53.504ZJunohttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Juno575
<p>When Juno was eating BB, he pooped llike 4x a day. Since I've switched his food, he poops 3x a day. I usually feed 1cup/day in addition to treats for training. fyi: juno is the same age as miles</p>

<p>What kind of food is he eating? I usually suggest 1 handful 4 times a day or about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups and then divide it by the times you feed him . It sounds like it may not be enough at 3/4 cup. I usually "free feed also if they don't overeat at one time although not everyone believes this to be the best way.</p>
