I've always fed both dogs twice a day-just a lesser amount each time. I feed Gus about 3/4 cups of Canidae (just switched-he LOVES it!) in the morning and about 1/2 cup Canidae dry and 1/2 cup Wellness canned at night. I think twice a day is good-even if it's less each time. However, I'm not sure he would ever beg for food if it weren't for our other dog, Sandy, who can be quite demanding!

We feed our corgis 1 1/2 c. of Natural Balance each day. We recently switched from Bil-Jac to Natural Balance because our female catahoula and corgi Tank started having allergy problems. Tank has cleared up and Ayla is looking much better. Back to the subject at hand. Canidae is a great food. Good for you for switching! Sounds like you're doing great. With ours, they get fed once a day. However, since Cody (the 13 year old) needs feeding 2x a day, we're considering switching all the kids to the 2x schedule.

Our breeder told us to feed Kiwi, 1/3-1/2 cup twice a day. While she may seem a little hungry, we also don't want her to fall victim to obesity. She seems to do well with that breakdown b/c she gets to eat in the morning and the night. We do give her a nylabone at some point during the day so she can have a little snack. Our breeder has great information regarding corgi obesity, and feeding instructions on her website: www.honeyfoxcorgis.com
Hope this helps!

2 cups a day seems like a lot for such a young pup. keahi is 7 months old and he's at 3/4 cup in the morning and 3/4 cup in the evening. if we feed him more than that he leaves it alone. sometimes i feel like the recommended serving sizes listed on the bag are directed for larger dogs (even if it is a medium dog formula).

I fed Charlie 3x a day until he was 4 months, then switched to 2x a day. He'll be one year old this month, and I am considering the pros/cons of moving to 1x a day now. Puppies as young as Blaze probably should be fed either 2 or 3 meals. For quantity of food, if Blaze isn't looking too fat or too skinny, you're feeding the correct amount. : - )

Congrats on a successful and fun first month together. Keep up the good work!

I'm feeding Grover 3 times a day, a half a cup each time. But I'm about to switch to mornings and evenings. But I think it helps him not be such a whiney butt in the evenings to have a meal then.
Sounds like Blaze is doing awesome!! Corgis are just the smartest little dogs!! Way to go on the housebreaking!

You should probably feed him twice a day. Once a day feeding is for older dogs who are able to sustain themselves throughout the day. If he's eating a full 2cups every day I'll do 1cup in the morning and the other in the evening.
If 1cup in the morning is not enough for him, you can give him 1.5 then and .5 later. Or come home at lunch and give him a small lunch with bigger portions at breakfast and dinner.
Either way, if you portion out the food throughout the day he'll be less hungry.
