Yes Jane, raw veggies are not fattening and are a great supplement. Taylor though likes his carrots cooked (boiled for three minutes).

There is no doubt a lot of difference between dogs off-leash and dogs on leash for exercising purposes. Off leash they tend to run and stop and then catch up at speed etc which is much more beneficial than a continuous walking pace. Today when there were 14 Corgis from the WWCWC running around the lawns at the TV studios for 30 minutes, chasing each other or chasing after a person etc, was a good example of Corgis getting a little quality exercise and having fun. Can't get enough of it. And I am please to say that of the four overweight Corgis present, two of the three I know about have considerably fined down. Of the one that has not and the one that probably has not, both suffer from arthritis. Number One treatment for them is weight reduction as quickly as possible.
