Could this be similar for Corgis and other dog breeds?

I think so, and my favourite vet, Dr Dave, largely supports my contentions.

New factual evidence shows that inherited cancers, heart disease and diabetes are only a small proportion of cancers etc that people suffer from. These terrible diseases are largely the result of the environment and what we eat.

OVERWEIGHT iS NOW CONSIDERED VERY SIGNIFICANT.

Emphasis of food should be on fruit, veggies and whole grain and much less on RED meat, dairy products (milk, cheese etc) and fats.

The message for us Corgi owners is to ensure our Corgis are NOT OVERWEIGHT and to look at making the bulk of the meals we give our Corgis contains more of cooked chicken, cooked fish, grains, veggies and fruit. Pretty easy for me to accomplish because it is the kind of diet my Corgi is on at present.

Also interestingly - shortness in a human is regarded as a benefit ie less risk of contracting several types of cancer. Tall dogs too have greater health risk factors than do most of the small breeds including of course, Corgis.
