Hi there, 

Kuma is now 4 months and he has been on nutra-balance puppy. I was reading up on it and it said that wet dog food is better than dry food (less fat in it and healthier). I was wondering if I should start feeding him some sort of wet food instead of dry food. He is pretty active, but i was afraid that he wasn't active enough and might get overweight, which is extremely bad because of their short legs.

Generally speaking, a good quality dry kibble is your best bet, nutritionally and dollar wise.

You can get do food that is for more active dogs. But dry dog food and wet are both meant to reach the dogs nutritional needs. If your dogs not acting hungry or losing weight then what your doing is perfect. But I would switch to adult dog food soon if you have not because puppy food has a lot f protien in it which doesn't I've the puppy enough time to develope healthy strong bones. Corgis are known for hip displasia so you don't want big growth spurts that puppy food gives. Also fog food with no grains or wheat helps with weight. But like I said he will let you know if he needs a different dog food!!!! 
Btw all the misspelling is my iPhone sorry!!!

Dry kibble is better than wet food IMO. You would need to feed a LOT of wet food in order to get all the proper nutrients, and that gets very expensive (canned food is usually very very low protein compared to a kibble, like 8% versus 25%). I would not worry about making a puppy fat, their metabolism is so high it would be very difficult to do even if you tried. Once he gets to be around a year old you may need to reduce his food amount, but if you keep an eye on his weight you will notice if he starts getting chubby. If anything I would switch him to an ALS or large breed puppy formula which is thought to be better for corgi puppies.
