Great news. If a Corgi is arthrithic it is much much better to have him/her slightly underweight that even bang on. So I would suggest that Shelley can trim some more pounds off yet.
Corgis and other dogs are Beggars. They will beg for food that they do not ever need. They will eat much more food than they require for a healthy life. It is up to us to put a stopper to these nonsense desires. If you keep this in mind, then there is no need for Corgis to become overweight to the extent that occurs in 70 percent of the breed. A lot of Corgi owners don't sufficiently equate the ratio of food to exercise. The less exercise the less food the Corgi requires.
