Maggie do't like to eat...
Believe it or not, my 4 months old Maggie don't like to eat.
She eat twice a day with less than normal amount of dog food. But in general, she just don't like to eat. She don't like most of dog treat, at least i have not find one yet. The few things she like is ice (her favorite) but I think she just like to chew the ice and not really eat it. She do love cheese. But it is not like she is super crazy about it like other dog will.
The food I prepare for her is all good stuffs, expensive dry food with nice wet can food. Also, it might has cheese, tiny bit of steak or chicken in side. These food is something that my friend's dog would die for. But this is not for Maggie, she will take a few bites and walk away. Then come back 5 minutes later. Also she seldom finish her food. I had try different brands but it is the same for her.
About the treats, I try so many kinds. Nothing seems to work. In most cases, she just just lick it and play with the treat/food. Also, she like to hide the food, so I have to keep looking for food before it rotten.
Sign..... Any idea how to fix this?
thanks

Is your question how to fix hiding food? Have a set schedule for meal, if the food is not eaten within 10 mins, pick it up until the next playtime. Good luck!

I wet the dry food as you suggest and she ate fast.
But I am not sure is it because of the long walk today.
thanks a lot

She could be one of those rare corgis......a nibbler. My first corgi would never really eat at meal time. She was more happy doing like yours does. Eat a few pieces, go do something, eat some more. I called it grazing. I got to where every morning, I would measure out her food for the day, and walk away. By the end of the evening, she would have her food done. She never was really hungry, never wanted much in treats or people food. She stayed the perfect weight.

no, Maggie just eat when i first present the food to her. She will not come back to her food, other than the first 15mins.
Also, she just don't like treat. so I think she is not too into eating.
However, I when I take her to my friend's place, who has 2 dogs, she will eat fast, protect her food and eat a lot more than in my home.
sigh...

Are you sure she's a corgi?!? With our first corgi, dropped food never hit the kitchen floor, even if the Siri was in the basement when her magical sensors detected a loose morsel about to fall off the counter. Al & Gwynn are fed twice a day, and their food is gone within 60 seconds.
I think I remember reading, "It is virtually impossible to overfeed a puppy", so maybe you can trust Maggie to eat what she wants when she wants. (For myself, I trust my own hunger). But monitor her body fat and weight as she matures. I see an awful lot of overweight corgis, not healthy for them or their long backs. Eventually, I expect you'll need to restrict her diet.
Perhaps you're giving her plenty? Our two adults are about 21 and 25-27 lbs., and they get just over 1/2 c. of frozen raw meat and just over 1/3 c. of kibble twice a day. It doesn't look like much, and it's gone in under 60 seconds.

Mine didn't care about food until he was about 5 or 6 months old, believe it or not. Treats didn't matter to him, food didn't matter to him, he just didn't care. But aaaaallll that changed very quickly. It probably does have something to do with her teething, like someone said. Just give her time, she'll come around.

My Molly can be really fussy about food so what I normally do is break up some treats and add it to her food which seems to help. Have you tried different flavors of food or different treats? How about adding yogurt or cottage cheese? The other thing is you may want to check with your vet and make sure she doesn't have any parasites.
