And that's about right where he should be.

That's where corgis carry most of their weight.

Yes, he will if you insist. Put his food down for 20 min. If he doesn't eat it you pick it up. No treats or food till the next meal and do the same thing. He will eat. No healthy corgi has ever starved him/herself to death.

Quote:
Like some other people I thought he was not getting enough food because the dog food bag said he should be eating almost three cups a day.
They're in the business to sell food.

Quote:
Side note, he often times does not eat all of breakfast and will eat his dinner over the course of an hour or two. He is by no means a typical corgi who will eat ravenously until it is all gone.
If he's not finishing his meals then you should cut back on how much you're giving him. And cut the amount of time he has to eat it.
