Feeding
# Feeding your Cardigan Welsh Corgi well
United Kingdom
The Welsh Corgi Cardigan needs a complete and well-balanced diet, adapted to its medium size, its activity level and its age. Good-quality food helps support its muscle mass, its double coat and the maintenance of a weight suited to its morphology.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A growth diet for a medium-sized puppy, divided into several meals, supports its development without excess.
- Adult: In adulthood, a stable and well-measured ration helps preserve the figure, tone, and joint comfort.
- Senior: In the senior dog, a more digestible formula adapted to its activity helps maintain a good overall condition.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble for medium-sized dogs generally suits the Welsh Corgi Cardigan very well, provided it is adapted to its age and activity. A balanced, digestible and moderately energy-dense formula is often preferable to avoid excesses while supporting its daily vitality.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount varies according to weight, activity, sterilization and the energy density of the chosen food. It is preferable to start from the manufacturer's recommendations and then adjust with the veterinarian according to the dog's actual body condition.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10 - 12 kg | 160 - 190 g | 2 |
| 12 - 15 kg | 190 - 220 g | 2 |
| 15 - 17 kg | 220 - 250 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over about one week, by gradually mixing the old and the new food. This transition limits digestive upsets and makes it possible to check good tolerance of the new ration.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must always be available. After exercise, in hot weather or during shedding periods, good hydration contributes to overall comfort and the proper functioning of the body.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training the Welsh Corgi Cardigan, provided they remain moderate and are included in the daily ration. It is better to favor small, simple rewards and avoid repeated excesses that unbalance energy intake.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration rather than estimating it by eye.
- Split the food into 2 meals per day in adulthood.
- Adjust the quantities during periods of lower activity.
- Limit table scraps and very fatty treats.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, avocado, cooked bones, alcohol, xylitol and very fatty or very salty foods should be avoided, as they can cause severe digestive disorders, poisoning or metabolic complications.
